DescriptionCVE.org

MuPDF versions 1.23.0 through 1.27.0 contain a double-free vulnerability in fz_fill_pixmap_from_display_list() when an exception occurs during display list rendering. The function accepts a caller-owned fz_pixmap pointer but incorrectly drops the pixmap in its error handling path before rethrowing the exception. Callers (including the barcode decoding path in fz_decode_barcode_from_display_list) also drop the same pixmap in cleanup, resulting in a double-free that can corrupt the heap and crash the process. This issue affects applications that enable and use MuPDF barcode decoding and can be triggered by processing crafted input that causes a rendering-time error while decoding barcodes.

AnalysisAI

MuPDF versions 1.23.0 through 1.27.0 are vulnerable to a double-free memory corruption flaw in the display list rendering function that can be triggered through crafted barcode input during exception handling. Applications using MuPDF's barcode decoding feature can crash or potentially experience heap corruption when processing specially crafted files. Public exploit code exists for this vulnerability, and a patch is available.
