Descriptions
Ghostscript GhostPDL 9.50 through 9.54.0 has a heap-based buffer overflow in sampled_data_finish (called from sampled_data_continue and interp).
Ghostscript GhostPDL versiones 9.50 a 9.54.0, presenta un desbordamiento de búfer en la región heap de la memoria en la función sampled_data_finish (llamado desde sampled_data_continue e interp).
An update that fixes 5 vulnerabilities is now available. Htmldoc was updated to fix issues. Fixed buffer overflow may lead to DoS via a crafted BMP image. Fixed stack-based buffer overflow in image_load_bmp results in remote code execution if the victim converts an HTML document linking to a crafted BMP file. Fixed stack out-of-bounds read in gif_get_code when opening a malicious GIF file results in a segmentation fault.
