Last modified Jun 17, 2026

CVE-2019-7310 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.8/10 on the CVSS scale. In Poppler 0.73.0, a heap-based buffer over-read (due to an integer signedness error in the XRef::getEntry function in XRef.cc) allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted PDF document, as demonstrated by pdftocairo.. EPSS estimates a 2.20% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
