Collisions in PDF signatures

(Note: This advisory can also be found at http://pdfsig-collision.florz.de/)

= Summary =

The specification of the Portable Document Format (PDF) from version
1.3 onward, including ISO 19005-1:2005 (PDF/A-1) and ISO 32000-1:2008
(equivalent to PDF 1.7), ostensibly defines a mechanism for digitally
signing a document's contents so as to integrate cryptographic
authentication of a document's contents into the existing container
format. A common use of this mechanism is for the creation of supposedly

Xpdf - Integer overflow which causes heap overflow and NULL pointer derefernce.

Xpdf is prone to NULL pointer dereference attack.


   Description:

Xpdf is an open-source viewer for Portable Document Format (PDF) files. Xpdf project also includes
a PDF text extractor, PDF-to-PostScript converter, and various other utilities. Xpdf runs under
the X Window System on UNIX, VMS, and OS/2. The non-X components (pdftops, pdftotext, etc.) also
run on Win32 systems and should run on pretty much any system with a decent C++ compiler.
Xpdf is designed to be small and efficient. It can use Type 1, TrueType, or standard X fonts.
