Lifecycle Timeline
5Description
Poppler is a PDF rendering library. Versions prior to 25.06.0 use `std::atomic_int` for reference counting. Because `std::atomic_int` is only 32 bits, it is possible to overflow the reference count and trigger a use-after-free. Version 25.06.0 patches the issue.
Analysis
Poppler is a PDF rendering library. Versions prior to 25.06.0 use std::atomic_int for reference counting. Because std::atomic_int is only 32 bits, it is possible to overflow the reference count and trigger a use-after-free. Version 25.06.0 patches the issue.
Technical Context
A use-after-free vulnerability occurs when a program continues to use a pointer after the referenced memory has been freed, leading to undefined behavior. This vulnerability is classified as Use After Free (CWE-416).
Affected Products
Affected products: Freedesktop Poppler
Remediation
A vendor patch is available — apply it immediately. Use memory-safe languages. Implement proper object lifecycle management. Use static and dynamic analysis tools to detect UAF patterns.
