Description
Artifex Ghostscript before 10.03.0 has a stack-based buffer overflow in the pdfi_apply_filter() function via a long PDF filter name.
A flaw was found in Ghostscript. The `PDFDEBUG` flag controls the value of `ctx->args.debug`. In `pdfi_apply_filter`. This issue enables the execution of a `memcpy` into a stack buffer, without bounds checks. A filter name larger than 100 will overflow the `str` buffer, which may lead to an application crash or other unexpected behavior.
