NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libpoppler89 package and not the libpoppler89 package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.5 relevant fixed versions and status.

An issue was discovered in Poppler 0.74.0. A recursive function call, in JBIG2Stream::readTextRegion() located in JBIG2Stream.cc, can be triggered by sending a crafted pdf file to (for example) the pdfimages binary. It allows an attacker to cause Denial of Service (Segmentation fault) or possibly have unspecified other impact. This is related to JBIG2Bitmap::clearToZero.
