NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libpdfbox2-java package and not the libpdfbox2-java package as distributed by Debian.

Apache PDFBox 2.0.14 does not properly initialize the XML parser, which allows context-dependent attackers to conduct XML External Entity (XXE) attacks via a crafted XFDF.
