Description Andrej Nemec 2017-07-27 12:53:03 UTC

The gx_ttfReader__Read function in base/gxttfb.c in Artifex Ghostscript GhostXPS 9.22 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer over-read and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted document.
