Use these insights to assess risk and plan your patching strategy.
For a broader perspective on cybersecurity threats, explore the comprehensive list of CVEs by vendor and product. Stay updated on critical vulnerabilities affecting major software and hardware providers.
Total qpdf_project CVEs: 19
Earliest CVE date: 23 May 2017, 04:29 UTC
Latest CVE date: 29 Feb 2024, 20:15 UTC
Latest CVE reference: CVE-2024-24246
30-day Count (Rolling): 0
365-day Count (Rolling): 0
Calendar-based Variation
Calendar-based Variation compares a fixed calendar period (e.g., this month versus the same month last year), while Rolling Growth Rate uses a continuous window (e.g., last 30 days versus the previous 30 days) to capture trends independent of calendar boundaries.
Month Variation (Calendar): 0%
Year Variation (Calendar): -100.0%
Month Growth Rate (30-day Rolling): 0.0%
Year Growth Rate (365-day Rolling): -100.0%
Average CVSS: 3.88
Max CVSS: 6.8
Critical CVEs (≥9): 0
| Range | Count |

These are the five CVEs with the highest CVSS scores for qpdf_project, sorted by severity first and recency.
Heap Buffer Overflow vulnerability in qpdf 11.9.0 allows attackers to crash the application via the std::__shared_count() function at /bits/shared_ptr_base.h.
An issue was discovered in QPDF version 10.0.4, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted .pdf file to Pl_ASCII85Decoder::write parameter in libqpdf.
QPDF v8.4.2 was discovered to contain a heap buffer overflow via the function QPDF::processXRefStream. This vulnerability allows attackers to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) via a crafted PDF file.
QPDF 9.x through 9.1.1 and 10.x through 10.0.4 has a heap-based buffer overflow in Pl_ASCII85Decoder::write (called from Pl_AES_PDF::flush and Pl_AES_PDF::finish) when a certain downstream write fails.
In QPDF 8.2.1, in libqpdf/QPDFWriter.cc, QPDFWriter::unparseObject and QPDFWriter::unparseChild have recursive calls for a long time, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted PDF file.
libqpdf.a in QPDF through 8.0.2 mishandles certain "expected dictionary key but found non-name object" cases, allowing remote attackers to cause a denial of service (stack exhaustion), related to the QPDFObjectHandle and QPDF_Dictionary classes, because nesting in direct objects is not restricted.
An issue was discovered in QPDF before 7.0.0. There is an infinite loop due to looping xref tables in QPDF.cc.
An issue was discovered in QPDF before 7.0.0. There is a large heap-based out-of-bounds read in the Pl_Buffer::write function in Pl_Buffer.cc. It is caused by an integer overflow in the PNG filter.
An issue was discovered in QPDF before 7.0.0. There is a stack-based out-of-bounds read in the function iterate_rc4 in QPDF_encryption.cc.
An issue was discovered in QPDF before 7.0.0. There is an infinite loop in the QPDFWriter::enqueueObject() function in libqpdf/QPDFWriter.cc.
An issue was discovered in QPDF before 7.0.0. Endless recursion causes stack exhaustion in QPDFTokenizer::resolveLiteral() in QPDFTokenizer.cc, related to the QPDF::resolve function in QPDF.cc.
The tokenizer in QPDF 6.0.0 and 7.0.b1 is recursive for arrays and dictionaries, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (stack consumption and segmentation fault) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a PDF document with a deep data structure, as demonstrated by a crash in QPDFObjectHandle::parseInternal in libqpdf/QPDFObjectHandle.cc.
A stack-consumption vulnerability was found in libqpdf in QPDF 6.0.0, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted file, related to the PointerHolder function in PointerHolder.hh, aka an "infinite loop."
A stack-consumption vulnerability was found in libqpdf in QPDF 6.0.0, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted file, related to the QPDFTokenizer::resolveLiteral function in QPDFTokenizer.cc after four consecutive calls to QPDFObjectHandle::parseInternal, aka an "infinite loop."
A stack-consumption vulnerability was found in libqpdf in QPDF 6.0.0, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted file, related to the QPDF::resolveObjectsInStream function in QPDF.cc, aka an "infinite loop."
A stack-consumption vulnerability was found in libqpdf in QPDF 6.0.0, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted file, related to the QPDFTokenizer::resolveLiteral function in QPDFTokenizer.cc after two consecutive calls to QPDFObjectHandle::parseInternal, aka an "infinite loop."
libqpdf.a in QPDF 6.0.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite recursion and stack consumption) via a crafted PDF document, related to unparse functions, aka qpdf-infiniteloop3.
libqpdf.a in QPDF 6.0.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite recursion and stack consumption) via a crafted PDF document, related to QPDFObjectHandle::parseInternal, aka qpdf-infiniteloop2.
libqpdf.a in QPDF 6.0.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite recursion and stack consumption) via a crafted PDF document, related to releaseResolved functions, aka qpdf-infiniteloop1.
