CVE-2007-5393
Heap-based buffer overflow in the CCITTFaxStream::lookChar method in xpdf/Stream.cc in Xpdf 3.02p11 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a PDF file that contains a crafted CCITTFaxDecode filter.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (6.41%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
