NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream xpdf package and not the xpdf package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:11 relevant fixed versions and status.

A large loop in JBIG2Stream::readSymbolDictSeg in xpdf 4.00 allows an attacker to cause denial of service via a specific file due to inappropriate decoding.
