Descriptions
In Artifex Ghostscript before 9.24, attackers able to supply crafted PostScript files could use a type confusion in the setcolor function to crash the interpreter or possibly have unspecified other impact.
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 la función setcolor para provocar el cierre inesperado del intérprete u otro tipo de impacto sin especificar.
Tavis Ormandy discovered multiple vulnerabilities in Ghostscript, an interpreter for the PostScript language, which could result in denial of service, the creation of files or the execution of arbitrary code if a malformed Postscript file is processed (despite the dSAFER sandbox being enabled).
