NVD Description

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

pdf_load_obj_stm in pdf/pdf-xref.c in Artifex MuPDF 1.12.0 could reference the object stream recursively and therefore run out of error stack, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted PDF document.
