CVE-2009-1179
Integer overflow in the JBIG2 decoder in Xpdf 3.02pl2 and earlier, CUPS 1.3.9 and earlier, Poppler before 0.10.6, and other products allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted PDF file.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (5.55%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
