NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream ghostscript package and not the ghostscript package as distributed by Ubuntu.
An issue was discovered in Artifex Ghostscript before 10.03.1. Path traversal and command execution can occur (via a crafted PostScript document) because of path reduction in base/gpmisc.c. For example, restrictions on use of %pipe% can be bypassed via the aa/../%pipe%command# output filename.
