Description
The calculation of the buffer size was being done with int values, and overflowing that data type. The bug has existed since the creation of the file contrib/japanese/gdevnpdl.cThe calculation of the buffer size was being done with int values, and overflowing that data type. By leaving the total size calculation to the memory manager, the calculation ends up being done in size_t values, and avoiding the overflow in this case, but also meaning the memory manager overflow protection will be effective.
Fixed in ghostpdl-10.05.0
