NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream poppler package and not the poppler package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:12 relevant fixed versions and status.

A stack-based buffer over-read exists in FoFiTrueType::dumpString in fofi/FoFiTrueType.cc in Xpdf 4.01.01. It can, for example, be triggered by sending crafted TrueType data in a PDF document to the pdftops tool. It might allow an attacker to cause Denial of Service or leak memory data into dump content.
