NVD Description

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

The Ins_MDRP function in base/ttinterp.c in Artifex Ghostscript GhostXPS 9.21 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer over-read and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted document.
