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.
