Descriptions
PDFDoc::markObject in PDFDoc.cc in Poppler 0.74.0 mishandles dict marking, leading to stack consumption in the function Dict::find() located at Dict.cc, which can (for example) be triggered by passing a crafted pdf file to the pdfunite binary.
PDFDoc::markObject en PDFDoc.cc en Poppler 0.74.0 gestiona de manera incorrecta el marcado de diccionarios, que conduce al consumo de pila en la función Dict::find() en Dict.cc, que puede (por ejemplo) desencadenarse pasando un archivo pdf manipulado al binario pdfunite.
It was discovered that poppler incorrectly handled certain files. If a user or automated system were tricked into opening a crafted PDF file, an attacker could cause a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code
