Description

Poppler prior to and including 22.08.0 contains an integer overflow in the JBIG2 decoder (JBIG2Stream::readTextRegionSeg() in JBIGStream.cc). Processing a specially crafted PDF file or JBIG2 image could lead to a crash or the execution of arbitrary code. This is similar to the vulnerability described by CVE-2022-38171 in Xpdf. An integer overflow issue was discovered in Popplers' JBIG2 decoder in the JBIG2Stream::readTextRegionSeg() function in JBIGStream.cc file. This flaw allows an attacker to trick a user into opening a malformed PDF file or JBIG2 image in the application, triggering an integer overflow, which could result in a crash or may lead to the execution of arbitrary code on the target system.
