CVE-2019-12360
It might allow an attacker to cause Denial of Service or leak memory data into dump content.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.12%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
A stack-based buffer over-read exists in FoFiTrueType::dumpString in fofi/FoFiTrueType.cc in Xpdf 4.01.01. It can, for example, be triggered by sending crafted TrueType data in a PDF document to the pdftops tool. It might allow an attacker to cause Denial of Service or leak memory data into dump content.
