Summary
ghostscript vulnerabilities
Details
Kamil Frankowicz discovered that Ghostscript mishandles references. A remote attacker could use this to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2017-11714)
Kim Gwan Yeong discovered that Ghostscript could allow a heap-based buffer over-read and application crash. A remote attacker could use a crafted document to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2017-9611, CVE-2017-9726, CVE-2017-9727, CVE-2017-9739)
Kim Gwan Yeong discovered an use-after-free vulnerability in Ghostscript. A remote attacker could use a crafted file to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2017-9612)
Kim Gwan Yeong discovered a lack of integer overflow check in Ghostscript. A remote attacker could use crafted PostScript document to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2017-9835)

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the
vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base
model, served locally by ML-Gateway.
They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
