A flaw was found in Ghostscript. Thepdf_base_font_alloc
function used by the pdfwrite
device will use a hexadecimal pointer representation for the constructed BaseFont name if the input name is empty. This flaw allows an attacker to obtain this pointer value by reading back to the output file after writing to a temporary writable and readable location.
Mitigation for this issue is either not available or the currently available options do not meet the Red Hat Product Security criteria comprising ease of use and deployment, applicability to widespread installation base or stability.
