Comment 1 Nicolas Salguero 2020-07-08 09:32:59 CEST

Suggested advisory:
========================

The updated packages fix a security vulnerability:

A stack-based buffer over-read exists in FoFiTrueType::dumpString in fofi/FoFiTrueType.cc in Xpdf 4.01.01. It can, for example, be triggered by sending crafted TrueType data in a PDF document to the pdftops tool. It might allow an attacker to cause Denial of Service or leak memory data into dump content. (CVE-2019-12360)
