An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2024-29506 exists.\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-2024-29506/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-29506/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-29506","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-29506/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-29506","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2024-29506","DEBIAN-CVE-2024-29506","GHSA-g5x6-xpv4-w4mm","UBUNTU-CVE-2024-29506"],"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":"A stack-based buffer overflow in Ghostscript allows attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause denial of service via a malicious PDF.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"ghostscript","vendor":"artifex"}],"cvss":{"score":5.4,"severity":"medium","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:L","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-787","name":"Out-of-bounds Write"},{"id":"CWE-120","name":"Buffer Copy without Checking Size of Input"}],"description":"Artifex Ghostscript before 10.03.0 has a stack-based buffer overflow in the pdfi_apply_filter() function via a long PDF filter name.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2024-29506","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"artifex:ghostscript","products":["artifex:ghostscript"],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2024"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2024-29507"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Summernote vulnerable to cross-site scripting","id":"CVE-2024-29504"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2024-07-03","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":"no","exploitation":"poc","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-02","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"A stack-based buffer overflow in Ghostscript allows attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause denial of service via a malicious PDF.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-29506/"}
