CVSS 3.0
7.1 highCVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:HCVE-2019-12493
High (7.1) in glyphandcog xpdfreader. EPSS 1.3% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
A stack-based buffer over-read exists in PostScriptFunction::transform in Function.cc in Xpdf 4.01.01 because GfxSeparationColorSpace and GfxDeviceNColorSpace mishandle tint transform functions. It can, for example, be triggered by sending a crafted PDF document to the pdftops tool. It might allow an attacker to cause Denial of Service or leak memory data.
