Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to leak of sensitive operators on the operand stack when a pseudo-operator pushes a subroutine. A remote unauthenticated attacker can supply a specially crafted PostScript file to escape the -dSAFER protection, gain access to the file system and execute arbitrary commands.


Remediation

Update to version 9.26.
