Descriptions

Xpdf prior to version 4.04 contains an integer overflow in the JBIG2 decoder (JBIG2Stream::readTextRegionSeg() in JBIG2Stream.cc). Processing a specially crafted PDF file or JBIG2 image could lead to a crash or the execution of arbitrary code. This is similar to the vulnerability described by CVE-2021-30860 (Apple CoreGraphics).

Xpdf versiones anteriores a 4.04, contiene un desbordamiento de enteros en el decodificador JBIG2 (la función JBIG2Stream::readSymbolDictSeg() en el archivo JBIG2Stream.cc). El procesamiento de un archivo PDF o una imagen JBIG2 especialmente diseñados podría conllevar a un fallo o una ejecución de código arbitrario. Esto es similar a la vulnerabilidad descrita por CVE-2021-30860 (Apple CoreGraphics).

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Xpdf, the worst of which could possibly lead to arbitrary code execution. Versions greater than or equal to 4.04 are affected.
