Descriptions
In Artifex Ghostscript before 10.05.0, decode_utf8 in base/gp_utf8.c mishandles overlong UTF-8 encoding. NOTE: this issue exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2024-46954.
It was discovered that Ghostscript incorrectly handled parsing certain PS files. An attacker could use this issue to cause Ghostscript to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly bypass file path validation.
