CVE-2010-1628: Ghostscript 8.64, 8.70, and possibly other versions allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary...

Security readout for executives and security teams

Ghostscript could be made to crash or run attacker-controlled code when it processes a malicious PostScript file. The business risk is highest where mail gateways, web upload systems, print workflows, or document converters automatically process untrusted files. Exposure is likely where Ghostscript is installed directly or bundled into document conversion, printing, preview, image processing, or PDF/PostScript handling pipelines. The supplied affected-product data is incomplete, so asset validation should check packages and embedded dependencies. Prioritize remediation for internet-facing upload, email, print, and document-conversion systems. For isolated desktop-only exposure, handle through normal patch management unless those systems process untrusted documents at scale. Mitigation focus: Apply Ghostscript updates from the relevant operating-system or vendor advisory.; Restrict Ghostscript from processing untrusted PostScript files where possible.; Isolate document conversion workers from sensitive networks and credentials..
