NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libpodofo package and not the libpodofo package as distributed by Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:16.04 relevant fixed versions and status.

The PoDoFo::PdfXRefStreamParserObject::ReadXRefStreamEntry function in base/PdfXRefStreamParserObject.cpp:224 in PoDoFo 0.9.5 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer over-read) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted PDF file.
