Ghostscript: heap buffer overflow in ghostscript truetype outliner due to npointstotal integer underflow during retry rollback
Impact
A heap buffer overflow flaw in Ghostscript's TrueType font outliner may occur due to an integer underflow. A remote attacker could exploit this by enticing a victim to open malicious content. The impact is potentially a Denial of Service crash.
Summarized by @cf/meta/llama-3.3-70b-instruct-fp8-fast. Verify details against the original sources.What to do
To mitigate this issue, avoid processing untrusted documents or standalone TrueType fonts with Ghostscript. If feasible, disable TrueType instruction execution within Ghostscript configurations. Consult Ghostscript documentation for specific configuration options to disable TrueType instruction execution. Running Ghostscript in a restrictive sandbox environment can also reduce the blast radius of potential exploitation.

cpe:/o:redhat:enterprise_linux:9Original source description
A flaw was found in Ghostscript. When processing a specially crafted TrueType font or document embedding one, an accounting error during font rendering can bypass buffer size checks, triggering a heap-based buffer overflow. A remote attacker could exploit this by enticing a victim or automated service to open the malicious content, potentially resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS) crash or arbitrary code execution.
