CVE-2009-4270
Published: 21 December 2009
Stack-based buffer overflow in the errprintf function in base/gsmisc.c in ghostscript 8.64 through 8.70 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted PDF file, as originally reported for debug logging code in gdevcups.c in the CUPS output driver.
Notes
Author | Note |
---|---|
mdeslaur | Jaunty and over are a DoS because of FORTIFY_SOURCE dapper and hardy have the vulnerable code in gsmisc.c, but it's not called from cups_put_params() in gdevcups.c. |
