An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2009-4270 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: n/a. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2009-4270/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2009-4270/index.md)","id":"CVE-2009-4270","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2009-4270/index.md","name":"CVE-2009-4270","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2009-4270","GHSA-m27g-4vw6-6c82"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Ghostscript library","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can cause denial of service or execute arbitrary code via a crafted PDF file exploiting a stack-based buffer overflow in Ghostscript.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"redhat","cpe":[{"product":"ghostscript","vendor":"ghostscript"}],"cvss":{"score":9.3,"severity":"critical","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-119","name":"Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer"}],"description":"Stack-based buffer overflow in the errprintf function in base/gsmisc.c in ghostscript 8.64 through 8.70 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted PDF file, as originally reported for debug logging code in gdevcups.c in the CUPS output driver.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2009-4270","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2009"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":14,"next":{"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2009-4271"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Use of Password Hash With Insufficient Computational Effort in Apache Derby","id":"CVE-2009-4269"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2009-12-21","related":[{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2009-0196","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2009-04-16"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2007-6725","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2009-04-08"},{"cvss_score":6.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-0411","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-02-28"},{"cvss_score":5,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-6679","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2009-04-08"},{"cvss_score":4.4,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2010-4820","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2014-10-27"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-07","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can cause denial of service or execute arbitrary code via a crafted PDF file exploiting a stack-based buffer overflow in Ghostscript.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2009-4270/"}
