1th percentile - higher than 1% of all known CVEs

Summary

The application opens a PDF containing an abnormal color space whose attributes reference a valid but semantically malformed function. The function's output is not validated; when subsequently read, it produces an illegal pointer that accesses an out-of-bounds region, crashing the application.

Risk Assessment

The risk involves a remote attacker being able to crash the application by providing a specially crafted PDF file, potentially leading to denial of service (DoS) and possible exploitation for further attacks.

Recommendation

It is recommended to immediately update the library to the latest version that includes a fix for color space function validation and to implement measures to restrict processing of untrusted PDF files.
