CVE-2018-10768

A crafted input will lead to a remote denial of service attack.

MEDIUM 6.5EPSS 2.40%

Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (2.40%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

There is a NULL pointer dereference in the AnnotPath::getCoordsLength function in Annot.h in an Ubuntu package for Poppler 0.24.5. A crafted input will lead to a remote denial of service attack. Later Ubuntu packages such as for Poppler 0.41.0 are not affected.
