NVD Description

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

The function Object::isName() in Object.h (called from Gfx::opSetFillColorN) in Xpdf 4.00 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (stack-based buffer over-read) via a crafted pdf file, as demonstrated by pdftoppm.
