CVE-2017-12595
Last modified
CVE-2017-12595 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The tokenizer in QPDF 6.0.0 and 7.0.b1 is recursive for arrays and dictionaries, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (stack consumption and segmentation fault) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a PDF document with a deep data structure, as demonstrated by a crash in QPDFObjectHandle::parseInternal in libqpdf/QPDFObjectHandle.cc.. EPSS estimates a 1.80% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
