CVE-2019-6116

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Artifex Ghostscript versions through 9.26

Description The issue is related to errors in the code of the Ghostscript software suite, which can be exploited by a remote attacker using a specially crafted Postscript file. This exploitation can lead to remote code execution or cause a denial of service. The vulnerability is also associated with ephemeral or transient procedures that can allow access to system operators.

Recommendations For Artifex Ghostscript versions through 9.26, update to a version later than 9.26 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to system operators and limiting the use of Postscript files from untrusted sources until a patch is available.
