CVE-2023-3044
Last modified
CVE-2023-3044 is a low-severity vulnerability rated 3.3/10 on the CVSS scale. An excessively large PDF page size (found in fuzz testing, unlikely in normal PDF files) can result in a divide-by-zero in Xpdf's text extraction code. This is related to CVE-2022-30524, but the problem here is caused by a very large page size, rather than by a very large character coordinate. . EPSS estimates a 0.35% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
