CVE-2023-43115: Artifex Ghostscript

High severity, CVSS 8.8. EPSS: 6% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

In Artifex Ghostscript through 10.01.2, gdevijs.c in GhostPDL can lead to remote code execution via crafted PostScript documents because they can switch to the IJS device, or change the IjsServer parameter, after SAFER has been activated. NOTE: it is a documented risk that the IJS server can be specified on a gs command line (the IJS device inherently must execute a command to start the IJS server).

Affected products

• Artifex Ghostscript: up to and including 10.01.2
• Fedoraproject Fedora: version 38 only; version 39 only
