A remote attacker can leverage this for a DoS attack.
MEDIUM 5.5EPSS 4.56%
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (4.56%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
In Xpdf 4.01.01, 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. This is similar to CVE-2018-16646.
