| Doc Text: |
A flaw was found in Ghostscript. The `runpdf` command allowed the new C-based PDF interpreter to be invoked from within PS. With this, it can pass various flags and arguments (for example, see `pdf_impl_set_param`) normally passed via the command line when the PDF interpreter is invoked directly. Because PS-strings are not null-terminated, this issue will result in a heap buffer overflow when a value of `PDFPassword` is supplied with a NULL byte in the middle.
