CVE-2017-9611
The Ins_MIRP function in base/ttinterp.c in Artifex Ghostscript GhostXPS 9.21 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer over-read and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted document.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.95%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
