CVE-2022-30775

xpdf 4.04 allocates excessive memory when presented with crafted input.

MEDIUM 5.5EPSS 0.83%

Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.83%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

xpdf 4.04 allocates excessive memory when presented with crafted input. This can be triggered by (for example) sending a crafted PDF document to the pdftoppm binary. It is most easily reproduced with the DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=afl-clang-fast++ option.
