CVE-2017-14929 poppler: Memory corruption via Gfx.cc infinite loop
Last modified: 2018-09-30 17:33:40 EDT
In Poppler, memory corruption occurs in a call to Object::streamGetChar in Object.h after a repeating series of Gfx::display, Gfx::go, Gfx::execOp, Gfx::opShowText, and Gfx::doShowText calls (aka a Gfx.cc infinite loop). A local attacker could use a maliciously crafted PDF document to crash the application. This is a different vulnerability than CVE-2017-14919.
