Comment 1 Andrej Nemec 2018-10-09 11:07:15 UTC 
Created pdfbox tracking bugs for this issue:

Affects: fedora-all [bug 1637494]
Comment 2 Cedric Buissart 2019-01-08 13:13:52 UTC 
Regarding the Satellite 5 product: 
Reducing the severity to Low : PDFBox is only used to create PDF. No attack vector, where an attacker could send a crafted PDF for parsing, have been found.
