MEDIUM 6.5EPSS 1.12%

Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.12%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

poppler 0.54.0, as used in Evince and other products, has a NULL pointer dereference in the JPXStream::readUByte function in JPXStream.cc. For example, the perf_test utility will crash (segmentation fault) when parsing an invalid PDF file.
