CVSS v2.0
7.8
VectorAV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:C

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions:

Poppler version 22.08.0

Description:

The issue is related to a reachable assertion in Object.h, which can lead to denial of service. This occurs because the `PDFDoc::replacePageDict` function in PDFDoc.cc lacks a stream check before saving an embedded file. The vulnerability can be exploited by a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.

Recommendations:

For Poppler version 22.08.0, consider disabling the `PDFDoc::replacePageDict` function until a patch is available to prevent potential denial of service attacks.

At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
