CVE-2018-10768
A crafted input will lead to a remote denial of service attack.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (2.35%). 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.
