Technical details

A heap-based out-of-bounds write vulnerability exists in the PRC parser due to insufficient validation of vertex indices in triangular fan texture meshes (CWE-787). The flaw is triggered when processing malformed PRC data embedded in PDF files or 3D content. Exploitation requires user interaction to open a crafted file and can result in memory corruption, denial of service, or code execution.
