NVD Description

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

In Xpdf 4.01.01, there is a heap-based buffer over-read in the function DCTStream::readScan() located at Stream.cc. It can, for example, be triggered by sending a crafted PDF document to the pdftops tool. It might allow an attacker to cause Information Disclosure.
