An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2019-3839 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-2019-3839/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-3839/index.md)","id":"CVE-2019-3839","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-3839/index.md","name":"CVE-2019-3839","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2019-3839","DLA-1792-1","DSA-4442-1","GHSA-wxr2-p327-97jr","MGASA-2019-0188","RHSA-2019:1017","UBUNTU-CVE-2019-3839","USN-3970-1"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read","data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"PostScript interpreter","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can bypass sandbox restrictions in Ghostscript via crafted PostScript files to access the file system outside intended constraints.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"security_feature_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"redhat","cpe":[{"product":"ghostscript","vendor":"artifex"},{"product":"ubuntu_linux","vendor":"canonical"},{"product":"debian_linux","vendor":"debian"},{"product":"fedora","vendor":"fedoraproject"},{"product":"leap","vendor":"opensuse"},{"product":"enterprise_linux","vendor":"redhat"}],"cvss":{"score":7.3,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-648","name":"Incorrect Use of Privileged APIs"}],"description":"It was found that in ghostscript some privileged operators remained accessible from various places after the CVE-2019-6116 fix.
