Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: Poppler versions prior to 25.06.0

Description: The issue is related to the use of std::atomic int for reference counting in the Poppler PDF rendering library. Since std::atomic int is only 32 bits, it is possible to overflow the reference count, which can trigger a use-after-free.

Recommendations: For versions prior to 25.06.0, update to version 25.06.0 to resolve the issue.
