Artifex · Ghostscript · CVE-2020-16310
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Ghostscript versions prior to 9.51
**Description**
The issue is related to a division by zero error in the `dot24 print page()` function, located in `devices/gdevdm24.c`, which can be exploited by a remote attacker to cause a denial of service. This can be achieved through a crafted PDF file.
**Recommendations**
For Ghostscript versions prior to 9.51, update to version 9.51 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of the `dot24 print page()` function until a patch is available. Avoid processing untrusted or crafted PDF files with affected versions of Ghostscript to minimize the risk of exploitation.
