    classified as problematic. This affects the function pdf_ferror of the file devices/vector/gdevpdf.c of
    the component New Output File Open Error Handler. The manipulation leads to null pointer dereference. It
    is possible to initiate the attack remotely. The identifier of the patch is
    619a106ba4c4abed95110f84d5efcd7aee38c7cb. It is recommended to apply a patch to fix this issue.
