Discussion

Poppler and Xpdf PDF Rendering Library Embedded Font Remote Code Execution Vulnerability

The Poppler and Xpdf PDF rendering library is prone to a remote code-execution vulnerability because the software fails to properly validate user-supplied data.

Successfully exploiting this issue allows attackers to execute arbitrary machine code in the context of applications that use the library. Failed exploit attempts likely result in denial-of-service conditions.
