There is an invalid memory access vulnerability in the function
TextPage::findGaps() located at TextOutputDev.c in Xpdf 4.01, which can
(for example) be triggered by sending a crafted pdf file to the pdftops
binary. It allows an attacker to cause Denial of Service (Segmentation
fault) or possibly have unspecified other impact.
Notes
| Author | Note |
|---|---|
| jdstrand | xpdf in koffice is 2.0 |
| mdeslaur | can’t reproduce with poppler, no indication it is affected |
| ebarretto | since 0.5.12-1 libextractor does not use xpdf anymore. xpdf in Debian uses poppler, which doesn’t contain the vulnerable code |
