Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Heap-based Buffer Overflow via the PDFium component. An attacker can execute arbitrary code within the sandboxed environment by convincing a user to open a specially crafted PDF file and perform specific UI gestures. This is only exploitable if the user interacts with the malicious PDF as instructed by the attacker.
