CVE-2019-12493

Published: 31 May 2019

A stack-based buffer over-read exists in PostScriptFunction::transform in Function.cc in Xpdf 4.01.01 because GfxSeparationColorSpace and GfxDeviceNColorSpace mishandle tint transform functions. It can, for example, be triggered by sending a crafted PDF document to the pdftops tool. It might allow an attacker to cause Denial of Service or leak memory data.

as of 2022-01-05, xpdf commit not available.

Marking emscripten ignored as poppler code is only for test/example.
since 0.5.12-1 libextractor does not use xpdf anymore.
xpdf in Debian uses poppler, which is not affected or fixed
