Description Laura Pardo 2018-11-05 15:10:36 UTC

An issue was discovered in Xpdf 4.00. A hang caused by large loop catalog->getNumPages() in AcroForm.cc allows attackers to launch a denial of service via a specific pdf file. This is mainly caused by a large number after the /Count field in the file.
