Description Andrej Nemec 2018-09-20 14:49:57 UTC 
 This vulnerability allows remote attackers to disclose sensitive information on vulnerable installations of PoDoFo Library. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file.

The specific flaw exists within PdfEncoding::ParseToUnicode(). The issue results from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data, which can result in a memory corruption condition.
