Vulnerability in Poppler's Splash backend (CVE-2026-10118)

Summary

Vulnerability in Poppler's Splash backend (CVE-2026-10118). Successful exploitation can lead to full system takeover. Exploitable via tilingPatternFill.

Original description

The description as published by the source.

A flaw was found in Poppler's Splash backend. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by crafting a malicious PDF file that, when rendered, triggers an integer overflow in the tilingPatternFill function. This overflow leads to an undersized heap memory allocation, allowing a subsequent out-of-bounds write. Successful exploitation could result in arbitrary code execution, information disclosure, or denial of service within the context of the application processing the PDF.
