Summary

The gs_alloc_ref_array function in psi/ialloc.c in Artifex Ghostscript 9.21 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer overflow and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted PostScript document. This is related to a lack of an integer overflow check in base/gsalloc.c.

Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)

Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)

  • Forced Integer Overflow
    This attack forces an integer variable to go out of range. The integer variable is often used as an offset such as size of memory allocation or similarly. The attacker would typically control the value of such variable and try to get it out of range. For instance the integer in question is incremented past the maximum possible value, it may wrap to become a very small, or negative number, therefore providing a very incorrect value which can lead to unexpected behavior. At worst the attacker can execute arbitrary code.

This is related to a lack of an integer overflow check in base/gsalloc.c.(CVE-2017-9835) - The pdf14_pop_transparency_group function in base/gdevp14.c in the PDF Transparency module in Artifex Software, Inc. Ghostscript 9.20 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and application crash) via a crafted file.(CVE-2016-10218) - The fill_threshhold_buffer function in base/gxht_thresh.c in Artifex Software, Inc.

"According to the versions of the ghostscript packages installed, the
EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following
vulnerabilities :

  - In Artifex Ghostscript before 9.26, a carefully crafted
    PDF file can trigger an extremely long running
    computation when parsing the file.(CVE-2018-19478)

  - The gs_makewordimagedevice function in base/gsdevmem.c
    in Artifex Software, Inc. Ghostscript 9.20 allows
    remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL
    pointer dereference and application crash) via a
    crafted file that is mishandled in the PDF Transparency
    module.(CVE-2016-10220)

  - Artifex jbig2dec 0.13 has a heap-based buffer over-read
    leading to denial of service (application crash) or
    disclosure of sensitive information from process
    memory, because of an integer overflow in the
    jbig2_decode_symbol_dict function in
    jbig2_symbol_dict.c in libjbig2dec.a during operation
    on a crafted .jb2 file.(CVE-2017-7885)

  - Artifex jbig2dec 0.13, as used in Ghostscript, allows
    out-of-bounds writes because of an integer overflow in
    the jbig2_build_huffman_table function in
    jbig2_huffman.c during operations on a crafted JBIG2
    file, leading to a denial of service (application
    crash) or possibly execution of arbitrary
    code.(CVE-2017-7975)

  - psi/ztoken.c in Artifex Ghostscript 9.21 mishandles
    references to the scanner state structure, which allows
    remote attackers to cause a denial of service
    (application crash) or possibly have unspecified other
    impact via a crafted PostScript document, related to an
    out-of-bounds read in the igc_reloc_struct_ptr function
    in psi/igc.c.(CVE-2017-11714)

  - The gs_alloc_ref_array function in psi/ialloc.c in
    Artifex Ghostscript 9.21 allows remote attackers to
    cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer overflow
    and application crash) or possibly have unspecified
    other impact via a crafted PostScript document. This is
    related to a lack of an integer overflow check in
    base/gsalloc.c.(CVE-2017-9835)

  - The pdf14_pop_transparency_group function in
    base/gdevp14.c in the PDF Transparency module in
    Artifex Software, Inc. Ghostscript 9.20 allows remote
    attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer
    dereference and application crash) via a crafted
    file.(CVE-2016-10218)

  - The fill_threshhold_buffer function in
    base/gxht_thresh.c in Artifex Software, Inc.
    Ghostscript 9.20 allows remote attackers to cause a
    denial of service (heap-based buffer overflow and
    application crash) or possibly have unspecified other
    impact via a crafted PostScript
    document.(CVE-2016-10317)

  - The pdf14_open function in base/gdevp14.c in Artifex
    Software, Inc. Ghostscript 9.20 allows remote attackers
    to cause a denial of service (use-after-free and
    application crash) via a crafted file that is
    mishandled in the color management
    module.(CVE-2016-10217)

  - The intersect function in base/gxfill.c in Artifex
    Software, Inc. Ghostscript 9.20 allows remote attackers
    to cause a denial of service (divide-by-zero error and
    application crash) via a crafted file.(CVE-2016-10219)

  - The mem_get_bits_rectangle function in base/gdevmem.c
    in Artifex Software, Inc. Ghostscript 9.20 allows
    remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL
    pointer dereference and application crash) via a
    crafted file.(CVE-2017-5951)
