CVE-2024-33870
PUBLISHED
CVSS 6.3 MEDIUM
Reported by mitre · Published July 3, 2024
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.
