Secunia Research has discovered two vulnerabilities in MuPDF, which
can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.
1) An integer overflow error within the "loadsamplefunc()" function
in mupdf/pdf_function.c can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer
overflow by e.g. tricking a user into opening a specially crafted PDF
file containing a sample function with a specially crafted size.
2) An integer overflow error within the "fz_newpixmap()" function in
fitz/res_pixmap.c can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer
overflow by e.g. tricking a user into opening a specially crafted PDF
file containing an image with specially crafted dimensions.
