A flaw in Ghostscript has been identified where the uniprint device allows users to pass various string fragments as device options. These strings, particularly upWriteComponentCommands and upYMoveCommand, are treated as format strings for gp_fprintf and gs_snprintf. This lack of restriction permits arbitrary format strings with multiple specifiers, potentially leading to data leakage from the stack and memory corruption. In RHEL 9 or newer, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to temporarily disable Ghostscript’s SAFER mode, which prevents Postscript code from executing commands or opening arbitrary files during the current invocation. ghostscript: format string injection leads to shell command execution (SAFER bypass) The CVSS score(s) listed for this vulnerability do not reflect the associated product's status, and are included for informational purposes to better understand the severity of this vulnerability.
