ghostscript: missing attack vector protections for CVE-2019-6116

It was found that in ghostscript some privileged operators remained accessible from various places after the CVE-2019-6116 fix. A specially crafted PostScript file could use this flaw in order to, for example, have access to the file system outside of the constrains imposed by -dSAFER. Ghostscript versions before 9.27 are vulnerable.

ghostscript: forceput in DefineResource is still accessible (700576)

It was found that the forceput operator could be extracted from the DefineResource method in ghostscript before 9.27. A specially crafted PostScript file could use this flaw in order to, for example, have access to the file system outside of the constrains imposed by -dSAFER.

ghostscript: superexec operator is available (700585)

It was found that the superexec operator was available in the internal dictionary in ghostscript before 9.27. A specially crafted PostScript file could use this flaw in order to, for example, have access to the file system outside of the constrains imposed by -dSAFER.

ghostscript: Mishandling of .completefont (incomplete fix for CVE-2019-3839)

Artifex Ghostscript through 9.26 mishandles .completefont. NOTE: this issue exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2019-3839.

Artifex MuPDF before 1.16.0 has a heap-based buffer over-read in fz_chartorune in fitz/string.c because pdf/pdf-op-filter.c does not check for a missing string.

ghostscript: -dSAFER escape in .charkeys (701841)

A flaw was found in all versions of ghostscript 9.x before 9.50, where the `.charkeys` procedure, where it did not properly secure its privileged calls, enabling scripts to bypass `-dSAFER` restrictions. An attacker could abuse this flaw by creating a specially crafted PostScript file that could escalate privileges within the Ghostscript and access files outside of restricted areas or execute commands.

ghostscript: Safer mode bypass by .forceput exposure in .pdfexectoken and other procedures (701450)

A flaw was found in, ghostscript versions prior to 9.50, in the .pdfexectoken and other procedures where it did not properly secure its privileged calls, enabling scripts to bypass `-dSAFER` restrictions. A specially crafted PostScript file could disable security protection and then have access to the file system, or execute arbitrary commands.

ghostscript: Safer mode bypass by .forceput exposure in setsystemparams (701443)

A flaw was found in ghostscript, versions 9.x before 9.50, in the setsystemparams procedure where it did not properly secure its privileged calls, enabling scripts to bypass `-dSAFER` restrictions. A specially crafted PostScript file could disable security protection and then have access to the file system, or execute arbitrary commands.

ghostscript: Safer mode bypass by .forceput exposure in setuserparams (701444)

A flaw was found in all ghostscript versions 9.x before 9.50, in the .setuserparams2 procedure where it did not properly secure its privileged calls, enabling scripts to bypass `-dSAFER` restrictions. A specially crafted PostScript file could disable security protection and then have access to the file system, or execute arbitrary commands.

ghostscript: Safer mode bypass by .forceput exposure in .pdf_hook_DSC_Creator (701445)

A flaw was found in, ghostscript versions prior to 9.50, in the .pdf_hook_DSC_Creator procedure where it did not properly secure its privileged calls, enabling scripts to bypass `-dSAFER` restrictions. A specially crafted PostScript file could disable security protection and then have access to the file system, or execute arbitrary commands.

Artifex MuPDF 1.15.0 has a heap-based buffer overflow in fz_append_display_node located at fitz/list-device.c, allowing remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted PDF file. This occurs with a large BDC property name that overflows the allocated size of a display list node.

An issue was discovered in Artifex MuJS 1.0.5. regcompx in regexp.c does not restrict regular expression program size, leading to an overflow of the parsed syntax list size.

An issue was discovered in Artifex MuJS 1.0.5. It has unlimited recursion because the match function in regexp.c lacks a depth check.

An issue was discovered in Artifex MuJS 1.0.5. jscompile.c can cause a denial of service (invalid stack-frame jump) because it lacks an ENDTRY opcode call.

An issue was discovered in Artifex MuJS 1.0.5. The Number#toFixed() and numtostr implementations in jsnumber.c have a stack-based buffer overflow.

ghostscript: -dSAFER escape via .buildfont1 (701394)

In ghostscript before version 9.50, the .buildfont1 procedure did not properly secure its privileged calls, enabling scripts to bypass `-dSAFER` restrictions. An attacker could abuse this flaw by creating a specially crafted PostScript file that could escalate privileges and access files outside of restricted areas.

pdf_load_obj_stm in pdf/pdf-xref.c in Artifex MuPDF 1.12.0 could reference the object stream recursively and therefore run out of error stack, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted PDF document.

In Artifex MuPDF 1.12.0, the pdf_read_new_xref function in pdf/pdf-xref.c allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (segmentation violation and application crash) via a crafted pdf file.

The js_strtod function in jsdtoa.c in Artifex MuJS through 1.0.2 has an integer overflow because of incorrect exponent validation.

In Artifex MuPDF 1.12.0, there is a heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability in the do_pdf_save_document function in the pdf/pdf-write.c file. Remote attackers could leverage the vulnerability to cause a denial of service via a crafted pdf file.
