| Doc Text: |
A flaw was found in Artifex Ghostscript, specifically in the decode_utf8 function within base/gp_utf8.c. The issue arises from the mishandling of overlong UTF-8 encoding, which can lead to unexpected behavior when processing certain inputs. This flaw could allow an attacker to manipulate text encoding, potentially leading to incorrect processing of UTF-8 characters or unexpected application behavior, and exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2024-46954.
