Notes

jdstrand

xpdf in koffice is 2.0

alexmurray

according to upstream this and CVE-2019-9588 might be one and the same issue

mdeslaur

can't reproduce with poppler, no indication it is affected as of 2022-01-05, xpdf commit not available.

ebarretto

since 0.5.12-1 libextractor does not use xpdf anymore. xpdf in Debian uses poppler, which is not affected or fixed
