Description Andrej Nemec 2017-07-27 12:45:24 UTC 
The xps_load_sfnt_name function in xps/xpsfont.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.
