NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream xpdf package and not the xpdf package as distributed by Debian.
There is an invalid memory access in the function fprintf located in Error.cc in Xpdf 4.0.2. It can be triggered by sending a crafted PDF file to the pdftohtml binary, which allows a remote attacker to cause a Denial of Service (Segmentation fault) or possibly have unspecified other impact.
