The CCITTFax decoding filter in Ghostscript 8.60, 8.61, and possibly other versions, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted PDF file that triggers a buffer underflow in the cf_decode_2d function.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This vulnerability is in Ghostscript’s PDF fax-image decoder. A malicious PDF can crash vulnerable Ghostscript versions and may allow code execution. Business risk is highest where servers automatically process uploaded, emailed, or queued PDFs. Likely exposure is legacy Ghostscript on Linux or Unix systems, especially document conversion, print, preview, OCR, and attachment-processing services that handle untrusted PDFs. The exact affected version range is incomplete in the provided sources. Prioritize remediation if Ghostscript processes untrusted documents. Legacy exposure can turn a normal PDF workflow into service disruption and possible host compromise, but the provided evidence does not confirm active exploitation. Mitigation focus: Inventory systems and applications that invoke Ghostscript for PDF or PostScript processing.; Update Ghostscript through supported vendor packages referenced by your operating system.; Review Red Hat, Ubuntu, Fedora, SUSE, Mandriva, or Sun guidance where applicable..
