CVE-2022-24106
LowSummary
In Xpdf prior to 4.04, the DCT (JPEG) decoder incorrectly allowed the 'interleaved' flag to be changed after the first scan of the image, leading to an unknown integer-related vulnerability in Stream.cc. The flaw may be triggered when processing crafted PDF files.
Risk Assessment
Processing a malicious PDF may trigger an integer-related error, potentially leading to an application crash or further exploitation.
Recommendation
Update Xpdf to version 4.04 or later.
Other vulnerabilities in Xpdf
See all- CVE-2026-85458Low
Xpdf 4.06 and earlier versions contain a divide-by-zero vulnerability when a glyph in a Type 3 font has a zero height. This can lead to program crashes or unexpected behavior.
- CVE-2025-11896Low
In Xpdf 4.05 (and earlier), a PDF object loop in a CMap, via the "UseCMap" entry, leads to infinite recursion and a stack overflow. This may cause an application crash when processing a malicious PDF file.
- CVE-2023-3436Low
Xpdf version 4.04 can deadlock when processing a PDF object stream whose 'Length' field is in another object stream.
- CVE-2023-3044Low
Xpdf has a vulnerability related to excessively large PDF page sizes, which can lead to a divide-by-zero error in the text extraction code. This issue was discovered during fuzz testing and is unlikely to occur in normal PDF files.
