CVE-2010-3702: Null Pointer Dereference

First published: Mon May 24 2010(Updated: )

Sauli Pahlman of CERT-FI provided us with fuzzed PDF file which causes xpdf / poppler PDF parser to crash. The crash is caused by an attempt to dereference uninitialized Gfx::parser pointer in Gfx::getPos(), which assumes parser is either NULL or valid Parser pointer. <a href="http://cgit.freedesktop.org/poppler/poppler/tree/poppler/Gfx.cc?id=71063d51#n879">http://cgit.freedesktop.org/poppler/poppler/tree/poppler/Gfx.cc?id=71063d51#n879</a>
