Description
The issue is a stack-based buffer overflow in the
extractPages function, located in utils/pdfseparate.cc, which can be exploited by remote attackers. This can lead to a denial of service (crash) and potentially allow the execution of arbitrary code via a source filename.Recommendations
For versions prior to 0.24.2, update to version 0.24.2 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the
extractPages function in utils/pdfseparate.cc until a patch is applied.Exploit
