NVD Description

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

An exploitable heap overflow vulnerability exists in the image rendering functionality of Poppler 0.53.0. A specifically crafted pdf can cause an image resizing after allocation has already occurred, resulting in heap corruption which can lead to code execution. An attacker controlled PDF file can be used to trigger this vulnerability.
