CVE-2018-16646
A remote attacker can leverage this for a DoS attack.
MEDIUM 6.5EPSS 2.88%
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (2.88%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
In Poppler 0.68.0, the Parser::getObj() function in Parser.cc may cause infinite recursion via a crafted file. A remote attacker can leverage this for a DoS attack.
