CVE-2017-5852
Published: 1 March 2017
The PoDoFo::PdfPage::GetInheritedKeyFromObject function in base/PdfVariant.cpp in PoDoFo 0.9.4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via a crafted file.
From the Ubuntu Security Team
Agostino Sarubbo discovered that PoDoFo mishandled certain crafted PDF files, resulting in an infinite loop. If PoDoFo were to open a malicious PDF, an attacker could cause a denial of service by forcing PoDoFo to crash, hang, or consume system resources.
