NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream poppler package and not the poppler package as distributed by Ubuntu.
Heap-based buffer overflow in the ExponentialFunction::ExponentialFunction function in Poppler before 0.40.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via an invalid blend mode in the ExtGState dictionary in a crafted PDF document.
