Technical details

A heap-based out-of-bounds read vulnerability exists in the PDF rendering engine's image mask handling code. The vulnerability occurs due to inconsistent validation of image metadata, causing incorrect alpha-channel processing during PDF rendering that reads beyond allocated heap memory. This is triggered by opening a malicious PDF file and can result in information disclosure or denial of service.
