+From 917b3a71fb20748965254631199ad98210d6c2fb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001

+Subject: [PATCH] Bug 707510 - don't use strlen on passwords
+
+Item #1 of the report. This looks like an oversight when first coding
+the routine. We should use the PostScript string length, because
+PostScript strings may not be NULL terminated (and as here may contain
+internal NULL characters).
+
+Fix the R6 handler which has the same problem too.
+
+CVE: CVE-2024-29509
+
+Upstream-Status: Backport [https://cgit.ghostscript.com/cgi-bin/cgit.cgi/ghostpdl.git/commit/?id=917b3a71fb20748965254631199ad98210d6c2fb]
