CVE-2019-13291

Published: 4 July 2019

In Xpdf 4.01.01, there is a heap-based buffer over-read in the function DCTStream::readScan() located at Stream.cc. It can, for example, be triggered by sending a crafted PDF document to the pdftops tool. It might allow an attacker to cause Information Disclosure.

Notes

AuthorNote
jdstrand
xpdf in koffice is 2.0
mdeslaur
doesn't seem to reproduce in poppler
ebarretto
since 0.5.12-1 libextractor does not use xpdf anymore.
xpdf in Debian uses poppler, which is not affected or fixed
