|
|
Dirk Mueller has reported a vulnerability in Xpdf. It is caused by
|
|
a missing boundary check in the splash rasterizer engine when handling
|
|
PDF splash images with overly large dimensions.

By sending a specially crafted PDF file to a victim, an attacker
|
|

|
|
arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application.
