CVE-2024-33870: Artifex Ghostscript

Medium severity, CVSS 6.3. EPSS: 0.5% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

An issue was discovered in Artifex Ghostscript before 10.03.1. There is path traversal (via a crafted PostScript document) to arbitrary files if the current directory is in the permitted paths. For example, there can be a transformation of ../../foo to ./../../foo and this will grant access if ./ is permitted.

Affected products

• Artifex Ghostscript: before 10.03.1 (fixed in 10.03.1)
