Descriptions

A memory corruption vulnerability has been identified in PostScript interpreter in various Lexmark devices. The vulnerability can be leveraged by an attacker to execute arbitrary code.

Se ha identificado una vulnerabilidad de corrupción de memoria en el intérprete PostScript de varios dispositivos Lexmark. Un atacante puede aprovechar la vulnerabilidad para ejecutar código arbitrario.

This vulnerability allows network-adjacent attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of Lexmark CX331adwe printers. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability.
The specific flaw exists within the parsing of PostScript data. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data, which can result in a memory corruption condition. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the pagemaker user.
