CVE-2018-1000040
In Artifex MuPDF 1.12.0 and earlier, multiple use of uninitialized value bugs in the PDF parser could allow an attacker to cause a denial of service (crash) or influence program flow via a crafted file.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.45%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
