NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream mupdf package and not the mupdf package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:13 relevant fixed versions and status.

pdf/pdf-write.c in Artifex MuPDF before 1.12.0 mishandles certain length changes when a repair operation occurs during a clean operation, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (buffer overflow and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted PDF document.
