FKIE_CVE-2018-16585
Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2018-09-06 14:29 - Updated: 2024-11-21 03:52
Severity ?
Summary
An issue was discovered in Artifex Ghostscript before 9.24. The .setdistillerkeys PostScript command is accepted even though it is not intended for use during document processing (e.g., after the startup phase). This leads to memory corruption, allowing remote attackers able to supply crafted PostScript to crash the interpreter or possibly have unspecified other impact. Note: A reputable source believes that the CVE is potentially a duplicate of CVE-2018-15910 as explained in Red Hat bugzilla (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1626193)

"value": "** EN DISPUTA ** Se ha descubierto un problema en versiones anteriores a la 9.24 de Artifex Ghostscript. El comando de PostScript .setdistillerkeys se acepta incluso aunque no est\u00e9 dise\u00f1ado para ser empleado durante el procesamiento de documentos (p.ej., tras la fase de inicio). Esto conduce a una corrupci\u00f3n de memoria que permite que los atacantes remotos puedan proporcionar PostScript dise\u00f1ado para provocar el cierre inesperado del int\u00e9rprete o, posiblemente, otro tipo de impacto sin especificar.
