NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream poppler package and not the poppler package as distributed by Centos.
See How to fix? for Centos:8 relevant fixed versions and status.
XRef::getEntry in XRef.cc in Poppler 0.72.0 mishandles unallocated XRef entries, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference) via a crafted PDF document, when XRefEntry::setFlag in XRef.h is called from Parser::makeStream in Parser.cc.
