Descriptions

The CCITTFax decoding filter in Ghostscript 8.60, 8.61, and possibly other versions, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted PDF file that triggers a buffer underflow in the cf_decode_2d function.

El filtro de decodificar CCITTFax en Ghostscript v8.60, v8.61, y posiblemente otras versiones, permite a atacantes remotos provocar una denegación de servicio (caída) y posiblemente ejecución de código arbitrario a través de un fichero PDF modificado que provoca un desbordamiento inferior de búfer en la función cf_decode_2d.
