Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Artifex Ghostscript GhostXPS version 9.21
Description
The issue allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service, which includes a heap-based buffer over-read and application crash, or possibly have other unspecified impacts via a crafted document. This is due to a problem in the Ins MDRP function in base/ttinterp.c.
Recommendations
For Artifex Ghostscript GhostXPS version 9.21, consider restricting the processing of crafted documents until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, avoid using the Ins MDRP function in base/ttinterp.c to minimize the risk of exploitation.
