Local code execution via out-of-bounds read
Published Jun 13, 2023 · Updated Feb 28, 2025
Out-of-bounds read in the Microsoft PostScript Printer Driver on affected Windows releases allows local users to execute code. Microsoft identifies the invalid read but has not disclosed the affected parser routine or how crafted PostScript data reaches it. Exploitation requires low-privileged local access and can affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability in the vulnerable process context.
