NVD Description

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

Heap-based buffer overflow in Splash.cc in xpdf, as used in other products such as (1) poppler, (2) kdegraphics, (3) gpdf, (4) pdfkit.framework, and others, allows attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via crafted splash images that produce certain values that exceed the width or height of the associated bitmap.
