It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2017-7948 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Artifex Ghostscript. 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-2017-7948/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-7948/index.md)","id":"CVE-2017-7948","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-7948/index.md","name":"CVE-2017-7948","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2017-7948","GHSA-fj69-j8fg-7wvp"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Ghostscript PostScript interpreter","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can cause denial of service or potential code execution via crafted PostScript documents exploiting an integer overflow in Ghostscript.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"integer_overflow"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"ghostscript","vendor":"artifex"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-190","name":"Integer Overflow or Wraparound"}],"description":"Integer overflow in the mark_curve function in Artifex Ghostscript 9.21 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds write and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted PostScript document.","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":"Integer overflow in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-7948","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"artifex:ghostscript","products":["artifex:ghostscript"],"type":"integer_overflow","year":"2017"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-7950"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-7947"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2017-04-19","related":[{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Artifex Ghostscript Type Confusion","id":"CVE-2017-8291","kev_date_added":"2022-05-24","published":"2017-04-27"},{"cvss_score":9.9,"headline":"Command injection in ghostscript","id":"CVE-2021-3781","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-02-16"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2025-27831","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-03-25"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2025-27832","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-03-25"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2025-27836","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-03-25"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"An issue was discovered in Artifex Ghostscript before 10.05.0.","id":"CVE-2025-27837","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-03-25"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Use after free in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-36773","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-02-04"}],"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":"2024-08-05","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can cause denial of service or potential code execution via crafted PostScript documents exploiting an integer overflow in Ghostscript.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-7948/"}
