CVE-2022-37051
There is a reachable abort which leads to denial of service because the main function in pdfunite.cc lacks a stream check before saving an embedded file.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.13%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
