There is an Invalid memory access in gAtomicIncrement() located at GMutex.h

example) the pdftops binary. It allows an attacker to cause Denial of
Service (Segmentation fault) or possibly have unspecified other impact.

| alexmurray | according to upstream this and CVE-2019-9587 might be one and the same issue |
| mdeslaur | can’t reproduce with poppler, no indication it is affected as of 2022-01-05, xpdf commit not available. |
| ebarretto | since 0.5.12-1 libextractor does not use xpdf anymore. xpdf in Debian uses poppler, which doesn’t contain the vulnerable code |
