Package : ghostscript
CVE ID : CVE-2023-28879
Debian Bug : 1033757
It was discovered that Ghostscript, the GPL PostScript/PDF interpreter,
is prone to a buffer overflow vulnerability in the (T)BCP encoding
filters, which could result in the execution of arbitrary code if
malformed document files are processed (despite the -dSAFER sandbox
being enabled).
For the stable distribution (bullseye), this problem has been fixed in
version 9.53.3~dfsg-7+deb11u4.
We recommend that you upgrade your ghostscript packages.
For the detailed security status of ghostscript please refer to its
security tracker page at:
