The same PoC crashes xpdf. I'm not aware of any CVE id being assigned for this issue other than the one for Adobe Reader.So I've deliberately not allocated one because we generally do not consider a crash of a user application like a PDF reader to be a security issue. However CVE does have a few cases where CVE names were allocated for such cases, so if any vendor here is going to treat this as a security issue let me know and I'll allocate a name for tracking purposes. Thanks, Mark
I was actually planning to but as currently done in cooker where jbig2dec is broken out in a new jbig2dec-0.10 package (with the patch applied). This makes it easier for future borkiness. This was also done with jasper earlier for the same reason. -- Regards // Oden Eriksson
