Poppler version 0.74.0
Description
An issue in the JBIG2Stream::readTextRegion() function, located in JBIG2Stream.cc, can be triggered by sending a crafted pdf file. This allows an attacker to cause a Denial of Service (Segmentation fault) or possibly have other unspecified impacts. The issue is related to the JBIG2Bitmap::clearToZero function.
