- Description
- The Adobe PDF specification 1.3, as implemented by Adobe Acrobat before 8.0.0, allows remote attackers to have an unknown impact, possibly including denial of service (infinite loop), arbitrary code execution, or memory corruption, via a PDF file with a (1) crafted catalog dictionary or (2) a crafted Pages attribute that references an invalid page tree node.

- Red HatSome implementations of the PDF specification erroneously allow page tree objects that refer back to themselves. As a result, an infinite loop could be created. We believe this could only result in a denial of service against the application. We do not consider a user-assisted DoS of a client application to be a security issue.
