Until an official fix is released, avoid opening untrusted PDF files with the affected MuPDF version. Monitor vendor channels for updates regarding patches or mitigations.
Description
An integer overflow vulnerability in 'pdf-image.c' in Artifex's MuPDF version 1.27.0 allows an attacker to maliciously craft a PDF that can trigger an integer overflow within the 'pdf_load_image_imp' function. This allows a heap out-of-bounds write that could be exploited for arbitrary code execution.
