Category:	Buffer overflow
Title:	Ghostscript Parser Buffer Overflow Vulnerabilities - Windows
Summary:	Ghostscript is prone to a buffer overflow vulnerability.
Description:	Summary: Ghostscript is prone to a buffer overflow vulnerability. Vulnerability Insight: These flaws are due to: - Boundary error in the 'parser()' which allows the attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted PostScript file. - Buffer overflow and memory corruption errors when processing a recursive procedure invocations, which could be exploited to crash an affected application or execute arbitrary code. Vulnerability Impact: Successful exploitation allows the attacker to execute arbitrary code in the context of the affected application and can cause denial of service. Affected Software/OS: Ghostscript version 8.70 and 8.64 on Windows. Solution: No known solution was made available for at least one year since the disclosure of this vulnerability. Likely none will be provided anymore. General solution options are to upgrade to a newer release, disable respective features, remove the product or replace the product by another one. CVSS Score: 9.3 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C
