NVD Description

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

The PoDoFo::PdfColorGray::~PdfColorGray function in PdfColor.cpp in PoDoFo 0.9.4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference) via a crafted file.
