Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: Artifex Ghostscript versions prior to 10.03.0
Description: The issue is related to a heap-based overflow when the PDFPassword parameter has a 000 byte in the middle, which can be exploited by a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.
Recommendations: For versions prior to 10.03.0, update to version 10.03.0 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of the PDFPassword parameter to minimize the risk of exploitation.
