CVE-2009-1187
Integer overflow in the JBIG2 decoding feature in Poppler before 0.10.6 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via vectors related to CairoOutputDev (CairoOutputDev.cc).
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (7.17%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
