Description D'juan McDonald (domhnall) 2019-06-01 04:20:54 UTC
(https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2019-12493):

A stack-based buffer over-read exists in PostScriptFunction::transform in Function.cc in Xpdf 4.01.01 because GfxSeparationColorSpace and GfxDeviceNColorSpace mishandle tint transform functions. It can, for example, be triggered by sending a crafted PDF document to the pdftops tool. It might allow an attacker to cause Denial of Service or leak memory data.

From upstream: "GfxSeparationColorSpace (and also GfxDeviceNColorSpace) were not checking that the tint transform functions had the correct number of inputs (and outputs). That will be fixed in the next release."
