NVD Description

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

In Xpdf 4.01.01, a heap-based buffer over-read could be triggered in FoFiType1C::convertToType0 in fofi/FoFiType1C.cc when it is trying to access the second privateDicts array element, because the privateDicts array has only one element allocated.
