NVD Description

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

The build_filter_chain function in pdf/pdf-stream.c in Artifex MuPDF before 2017-09-25 mishandles a certain case where a variable may reside in a register, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (Fitz fz_drop_imp use-after-free and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted PDF document.
