Tracker summary

CVE-2005-2097 medium priority: Debian including 4 source packages (cups, libextractor, poppler, xpdf), 20 status rows across 5 suites (bookworm, bullseye, forky, sid, trixie): resolved 20.

Description:

xpdf and kpdf do not properly validate the "loca" table in PDF files, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (disk consumption and hang) via a PDF file with a "broken" loca table, which causes a large temporary file to be created when xpdf attempts to reconstruct the information.
