Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions SumatraPDF (affected versions not specified)

Description SumatraPDF, a multi-format reader for Windows, contains an off-by-one error in the validation code that triggers only with exactly two records. This error causes an integer underflow in the size calculation within the
