Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Artifex Ghostscript versions prior to 10.05.0

Description The issue is related to the mishandling of overlong UTF-8 encoding in the decode utf8 function in base/gp utf8.c. This problem exists due to an incomplete fix for a previous issue.

Recommendations For versions prior to 10.05.0, update to version 10.05.0 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of the decode utf8 function in base/gp utf8.c until a patch is available.
