Vulnerability CVE-2018-19134


Published: 2018-12-20   Modified: 2018-12-21

Description:
In Artifex Ghostscript through 9.25, the setpattern operator did not properly validate certain types. A specially crafted PostScript document could exploit this to crash Ghostscript or, possibly, execute arbitrary code in the context of the Ghostscript process. This is a type confusion issue because of failure to check whether the Implementation of a pattern dictionary was a structure type.

Type:

CWE-704

(Incorrect Type Conversion or Cast)
