Freshness: upstream tracker timestamp is available; use API updated time as primary recency signal.
CVE-2009-3604 medium priority: Debian including 2 source packages (poppler, xpdf), 10 status rows across 5 suites (bookworm, bullseye, forky, sid, trixie): resolved 10.
The Splash::drawImage function in Splash.cc in Xpdf 2.x and 3.x before 3.02pl4, and Poppler 0.x, as used in GPdf and kdegraphics KPDF, does not properly allocate memory, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted PDF document that triggers a NULL pointer dereference or a heap-based buffer overflow.
