Ghostscript Remote Buffer-Overflow Vulnerability
Ghostscript is prone to a remote buffer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to properly bounds-check user-supplied input before copying it into a finite-sized buffer. Exploiting this issue allows remote attackers to overwrite a sensitive memory buffer with arbitrary data, potentially allowing them to execute malicious machine code in the context of the affected application.
Mitigation:
Upgrade to the latest version of Ghostscript 8.64 or later.
