Descriptions
Ghostscript 8.71 and earlier reads initialization files from the current working directory, which allows local users to execute arbitrary PostScript commands via a Trojan horse file, related to improper support for the -P- option to the gs program, as demonstrated using gs_init.ps, a different vulnerability than CVE-2010-4820.
Ghostscript v8.71 y versiones anteriores, lee los ficheros de inicialización desde el directorio de trabajo actual, lo que permite a usuarios locales ejecutar comandos PostScript de su elección a través de un archivo "Trojan horse" (Caballo de Troya"), relacionado con el soporte inapropiado para la opción -P del programa.
Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in GPL Ghostscript, the worst of which may allow execution of arbitrary code. Versions prior to 9.10-r2 are affected.
