Description

A flaw was found in Ghostscript. When processing a specially crafted TrueType font or document embedding one, an accounting error during font rendering can bypass buffer size checks, triggering a heap-based buffer overflow. A remote attacker could exploit this by enticing a victim or automated service to open the malicious content, potentially resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS) crash or arbitrary code execution.

Executive Summary

CVE-2026-110133 is a heap-based buffer overflow in Ghostscript's TrueType font rendering. It occurs when processing a specially crafted TrueType font or document, causing an accounting error that bypasses buffer size checks. This leads to a negative counter value, enabling writes beyond intended memory bounds and triggering heap corruption.

Impact Analysis

Exploitation could result in a Denial of Service (DoS) crash or arbitrary code execution. An attacker would need to trick a victim into opening malicious content. The impact depends on Ghostscript's role in the system, such as document processing or font rendering.

Mitigation Strategies

Avoid processing untrusted documents or standalone TrueType fonts with Ghostscript. Disable TrueType instruction execution in Ghostscript configurations and run the software in a restrictive sandbox environment to limit potential damage.
