Descriptions

Poppler through 0.62 contains an out of bounds read vulnerability due to an incorrect memory access that is not mapped in its memory space, as demonstrated by pdfunite. This can result in memory corruption and denial of service. This may be exploitable when a victim opens a specially crafted PDF file.

Poppler hasta la versión 0.62 contiene una vulnerabilidad de lectura fuera de límites debido a un acceso incorrecto a la memoria que no se mapea en su espacio de memoria, tal y como queda demostrado con pdfunite. Esto puede resultar en la corrupción de memoria y una denegación de servicio (DoS). Esto podría ser explotable cuando una víctima abre un archivo PDF especialmente manipulado.

PDFunite version 0.62.0 suffers from a buffer overflow vulnerability.
