Summary

Buffer overflow in the JBIG2Bitmap::JBIG2Bitmap function in JBIG2Stream.cc in Xpdf, as used in products such as gpdf, kpdf, pdftohtml, poppler, teTeX, CUPS, libextractor, and others, allows attackers to modify memory and possibly execute arbitrary code via unknown attack vectors.

Risk Assessment

The risk for organizations includes potential remote code execution on systems processing PDF files, which could lead to application compromise and further privilege escalation.
