Description |
| 44 |
=========== |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
Chris Evans (Google Security) discovered a stack-based buffer overflow |
| 47 |
within the zseticcspace() function in the file zicc.c when processing a |
| 48 |
PostScript file containing a long "Range" array in a .seticcscpate |
| 49 |
operator. |
| 50 |
|
| 51 |
Impact |
| 52 |
====== |
| 53 |
|
| 54 |
A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by enticing a user |
| 55 |
to open a specially crafted PostScript file, which could possibly lead |
| 56 |
to the execution of arbitrary code or a Denial of Service. |
| 57 |
|
| 58 |
Workaround |
| 59 |
========== |
| 60 |
|
| 61 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
| 62 |
|
| 63 |
