CVE-2024-33870

Publication date 9 May 2024

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Medium

Why this priority?

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.
