CVE-2023-46049
Last modified
CVE-2023-46049 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 5.3/10 on the CVSS scale. LLVM 15.0.0 has a NULL pointer dereference in the parseOneMetadata() function via a crafted pdflatex.fmt file (or perhaps a crafted .o file) to llvm-lto. NOTE: this is disputed because the relationship between pdflatex.fmt and any LLVM language front end is not explained, and because a crash of the llvm-lto application should be categorized as a usability problem.. EPSS estimates a 0.68% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
