The function TextExtractor::ExtractText in TextExtractor.cpp:77 in PoDoFo 0.9.5 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and application crash) via a crafted PDF document.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (2.60%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
