Descriptions

The Ins_MIRP function in base/ttinterp.c in Artifex Ghostscript GhostXPS 9.21 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer over-read and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted document.

La función Ins_MIRP en base/ttinterp.c en Artifex Ghostscript GhostXPS versión 9.21 permite a los atacantes remotos causar una denegación de servicio (DoS) (sobreescritura del búfer en la zona heap de la memoria y bloqueo de la aplicación) o posiblemente tener otro impacto no especificado por medio de un documento creado.

Several vulnerabilities were discovered in Ghostscript, the GPL PostScript/PDF interpreter, which may result in denial of service if a specially crafted Postscript file is processed.
