Descriptions

Multiple integer underflows in the icmLut_allocate function in International Color Consortium (ICC) Format library (icclib), as used in Ghostscript 9.06 and Argyll Color Management System, allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted (1) PostScript or (2) PDF file with embedded images, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow. NOTE: this issue is also described as an array index error.

Múltiples desbordamientos inferiores de enteros en la función icmLut_allocate en la librería del formato International Color Consortium (ICC),icclib, tal y como se utiliza en Ghostscript v9.06 y Argyll Color Management System, permite a atacantes remotos provocar una denegación de servicio (caída de la aplicación) y posiblemente ejecutar código de su elección a través de un (1) PostScript o (2) Archivo PDF hecho a mano con imágenes incrustadas, lo que provoca un desbordamiento de búfer basado en memoria dinámica (heap). NOTA: este problema se describe también como un error de índice de matriz.
