Description
It was found that ghostscript did not properly validate the parameters passed to the .rsdparams and .eqproc functions. During its execution, a specially crafted PostScript document could execute code via a "/OutputFile (%pipe%" substring in the context of the ghostscript process, bypassing the -dSAFER protection.
