Descriptions
Stack-based buffer overflow in the errprintf function in base/gsmisc.c in ghostscript 8.64 through 8.70 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted PDF file, as originally reported for debug logging code in gdevcups.c in the CUPS output driver.
Desbordamiento de búfer basado en pila en la función errprintf en base/gsmisc.c en ghostscript v8.64 hasta v8.70 permite a atacantes remotos provocar una denegación de servicio (caída) y probablemente ejecutar código de su elección mediante un fichero PDF modificado, como inicialmente se reportó por código de registro de depuración en gdevcups.c en el controlador de salida CUPS.
