Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions PoDoFo version 0.9.5

Description The issue allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service, specifically a NULL pointer dereference, via a crafted file. This is due to a problem in the PoDoFo::PdfXObject::PdfXObject function in PdfXObject.cpp.

Recommendations For PoDoFo version 0.9.5, consider avoiding the use of the PoDoFo::PdfXObject::PdfXObject function until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, restrict the processing of crafted files to minimize the risk of exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this issue.
