A buffer overflow vulnerability in okiibm_print_page1() in devices/gdevokii.c of Artifex Software GhostScript v9.50 allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service via a crafted PDF file. This is fixed in v9.51. Reference: https://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=701808 https://git.ghostscript.com/?p=ghostpdl.git;a=commit;h=f54414c8b15b2c27d1dcadd92cfe84f6d15f18dc
Created ghostscript tracking bugs for this issue: Affects: fedora-all [bug 1870168]
Flaw Summary: In /devices/gdevokii.c's okiibm_print_page1() routine, there's a buffer access graphics_modes_9[x_dpi / 60], which can go out-of-bounds of the global variable with certain x_dpi values that correspond to input pixels per inch. The patch for this flaw ensures that if a value would go out-of-bounds, an error is returned instead. This flaw is triggered by a crafted input PDF file.
