Description
Cedric Buissart (Red Hat) reports: It was found that the superexec operator was available in the internal dictionary in ghostscript before 9.27. A specially crafted PostScript file could use this flaw in order to, for example, have access to the file system outside of the constrains imposed by -dSAFER. It was found that the forceput operator could be extracted from the DefineResource method in ghostscript before 9.27.
