Descriptions
In Artifex Ghostscript before 9.24, attackers able to supply crafted PostScript files could use a type confusion in the LockDistillerParams parameter to crash the interpreter or execute code.
En Artifex Ghostscript en versiones anteriores a la 9.24, los atacantes que puedan proporcionar archivos PostScript manipulados podrían emplear una confusión de tipos en el parámetro LockDistillerParams para provocar el cierre inesperado del intérprete o ejecutar código.
It was discovered that the type of the LockDistillerParams parameter is not properly verified. An attacker could possibly exploit this to bypass the -dSAFER protection and crash ghostscript or, possibly, execute arbitrary code in the ghostscript context via a specially crafted PostScript document.
