CVE-2018-10194 is fixed in 4 products on 1 platform, first by ghostscript 9.22~dfsg+1-0ubuntu1.1, released April 17, 2018. It is not reported as exploited. Patch Radar priority: Routine.
The set_text_distance function in devices/vector/gdevpdts.c in the pdfwrite component in Artifex Ghostscript through 9.22 does not prevent overflows in text-positioning calculation, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted PDF document.
