Descriptions

In Artifex Ghostscript through 10.01.2, gdevijs.c in GhostPDL can lead to remote code execution via crafted PostScript documents because they can switch to the IJS device, or change the IjsServer parameter, after SAFER has been activated. NOTE: it is a documented risk that the IJS server can be specified on a gs command line (the IJS device inherently must execute a command to start the IJS server).

En Artifex Ghostscript hasta 10.01.2, gdevijs.c en GhostPDL puede conducir a la ejecución remota de código a través de documentos PostScript manipulados porque pueden cambiar al dispositivo IJS, o cambiar el parámetro IjsServer, después de que se haya activado SAFER. NOTA: es un riesgo documentado que el servidor IJS se pueda especificar en una línea de comandos gs (el dispositivo IJS debe ejecutar inherentemente un comando para iniciar el servidor IJS).

A vulnerability was found in Artifex Ghostscript in gdevijs.c, allows a malicious remote attacker to perform remote code execution via crafted PostScript documents.
