Descriptions

The PostScriptFunction::PostScriptFunction function in poppler/Function.cc in the PDF parser in poppler 0.8.7 and possibly other versions up to 0.15.1, and possibly other products, allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a PDF file that triggers an uninitialized pointer dereference.

La función PostScriptFunction::PostScriptFunction en poppler/Function.cc en el analizador de PDF de poppler v0.8.7 y posiblemente otras versiones hasta v0.15.1, y posiblemente otros, permite provocar una denegación de servicio (por caída de la aplicación) a atacantes dependientes de contexto a través de un archivo PDF que desencadena una desreferencia a un puntero no inicializado.

Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in Poppler, some of which may allow execution of arbitrary code. Versions less than 0.22.2-r1 are affected.
