Description
SumatraPDF is a multi-format reader for Windows. In 3.5.2 and earlier, a heap out-of-bounds read vulnerability exists in SumatraPDF's MOBI HuffDic decompressor. The bounds check in AddCdicData() only validates half the range that DecodeOne() actually accesses. Opening a crafted .mobi file can read nearly (1 << codeLength) bytes beyond the CDIC dictionary buffer, leading to a crash.
