CVE-2017-14687

Status: ModifiedHigh (7.8)—

Artifex MuPDF 1.11 allows attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted .xps file, related to "Data from Faulting Address controls Branch Selection starting at mupdf+0x000000000016cb4f" on Windows. This occurs because of mishandling of XML tag name comparisons.

CVSS
