Descriptions
In ghostscript before version 9.50, the .buildfont1 procedure did not properly secure its privileged calls, enabling scripts to bypass `-dSAFER` restrictions. An attacker could abuse this flaw by creating a specially crafted PostScript file that could escalate privileges and access files outside of restricted areas.

Un atacante podría abusar de esta fallo al crear un archivo PostScript especialmente diseñado que podría escalar privilegios y acceder a archivos fuera de las áreas restringidas.
