What is CVE-2024-33871?
A vulnerability exists in Artifex Ghostscript versions before 10.03.1, where attackers can execute arbitrary code by exploiting a weakness in the 'Driver' parameter for opvp and oprp devices. This vulnerability stems from the ability for the Driver parameter to accept arbitrary names for dynamic libraries, which can be manipulated through a specially crafted PostScript document. When exploited, this can lead to severe security risks, allowing unauthorized actions on the system.
