AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Xpdf version 4.00

Description The issue allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service, specifically a heap-based buffer over-read, via a crafted pdf file. This is demonstrated by the use of pdftoppm, which exploits the CCITTFaxStream::readRow() function in Stream.cc.

Recommendations For Xpdf version 4.00, consider disabling the CCITTFaxStream::readRow() function in Stream.cc as a temporary workaround until a patch is available. Restrict access to handling crafted pdf files to minimize the risk of exploitation.
