CVE-2024-33871 (GCVE-0-2024-33871)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2024-07-03 00:00 – Updated: 2024-08-02 02:42
VLAI
Summary
An issue was discovered in Artifex Ghostscript before 10.03.1. contrib/opvp/gdevopvp.c allows arbitrary code execution via a custom Driver library, exploitable via a crafted PostScript document. This occurs because the Driver parameter for opvp (and oprp) devices can have an arbitrary name for a dynamic library; this library is then loaded.
