CVE-2018-19059
There is a out-of-bounds read in EmbFile::save2 in FileSpec.cc, will lead to denial of service, as demonstrated by utils/pdfdetach.cc not validating embedded files before save attempts.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.84%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
