NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream ghostscript-gtk package and not the ghostscript-gtk package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

The set_text_distance function in devices/vector/gdevpdts.c in the pdfwrite component in Artifex Ghostscript through 9.22 does not prevent overflows in text-positioning calculation, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted PDF document.
