CVE-2018-10194 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade Ubuntu:16.04 ghostscript to version 9.18dfsg0-0ubuntu2.8 or higher.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream ghostscript package and not the ghostscript package as distributed by Ubuntu.
See How to fix? for Ubuntu:16.04 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.
