GHSA-x6fq-2ggv-xgcv PUBLISHED CVSS 6.900000095367432 MEDIUM

Record from GitHub Advisory Database · Published May 3, 2022

xpdf and kpdf do not properly validate the "loca" table in PDF files, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (disk consumption and hang) via a PDF file with a "broken" loca table, which causes a large temporary file to be created when xpdf attempts to reconstruct the information.
