Descriptions

Integer overflow in the mark_curve function in Artifex Ghostscript 9.21 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds write and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted PostScript document.

Desbordamiento de entero en la función mark_curve en Artifex Ghostscript 9.21 permite a atacantes remotos provocar una denegación de servicio (escritura fuera de límites y caída de aplicación) o posiblemente tener otro impacto no especificado a través de un documento PostScript manipulado.

Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in GPL Ghostscript, the worst of which could result in the execution of arbitrary code. Versions prior to 9.26 are affected.
