CVE-2024-33871

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: Ghostscript versions prior to 10.03.1

Description: The issue exists due to insufficient input validation in the contrib/opvp/gdevopvp.c component of the Ghostscript interpreter. This can be exploited by a remote attacker using a specially crafted PostScript file, potentially allowing arbitrary code execution. The vulnerability is related to the Driver parameter for opvp devices, which can have an arbitrary name for a dynamic library, and this library is then loaded.

Recommendations: For Ghostscript versions prior to 10.03.1, update to version 10.03.1 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of custom Driver libraries for opvp devices to minimize the risk of exploitation.
