CVE-2009-0195
Heap-based buffer overflow in Xpdf 3.02pl2 and earlier, CUPS 1.3.9, and probably other products, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a PDF file with crafted JBIG2 symbol dictionary segments.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (5.37%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
