CVE-2019-12958

Published: 25 June 2019

In Xpdf 4.01.01, a heap-based buffer over-read could be triggered in FoFiType1C::convertToType0 in fofi/FoFiType1C.cc when it is trying to access the second privateDicts array element, because the privateDicts array has only one element allocated.

since 0.5.12-1 libextractor does not use xpdf anymore.
