Authenticated code execution via heap buffer overflow
Published Apr 11, 2023 · Updated Feb 28, 2025
Heap-based buffer overflow in Microsoft PostScript and PCL6 Class Printer Driver allows remote authenticated users to execute code. Microsoft identifies the affected driver class but has not disclosed the parsing routine, malformed input field, or incorrect memory operation that causes the heap overwrite. Network access with low privileges is required, and successful exploitation grants code execution with confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
