CVE-2018-19881
In Artifex MuPDF 1.14.0, svg/svg-run.c allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (recursive calls followed by a fitz/xml.c fz_xml_att crash from excessive stack consumption) via a crafted svg file, as demonstrated by mupdf-gl.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.57%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
