Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
xpdf version 4.04
Description
The issue arises when xpdf allocates excessive memory in response to crafted input. This can be triggered by sending a crafted PDF document to the pdftoppm binary. It is most easily reproduced with the DCMAKE CXX COMPILER=afl-clang-fast++ option.
Recommendations
For xpdf version 4.04, as a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of the pdftoppm binary until a patch is available. Additionally, avoid using the DCMAKE CXX COMPILER=afl-clang-fast++ option to minimize the risk of exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
