Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Poppler version 0.53.0

Description An integer overflow issue exists in the JPEG 2000 image parsing functionality. A specially crafted PDF file can cause an integer overflow, leading to out of bounds memory overwrite on the heap, potentially resulting in arbitrary code execution. This can be triggered when a victim opens the malicious PDF in an application using this library.

Recommendations For Poppler version 0.53.0, consider avoiding the use of JPEG 2000 image parsing functionality until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, restrict the opening of PDF files from untrusted sources to minimize the risk of exploitation.
