CVE-2025-55780 Details
Description
A null pointer dereference occurs in the function break_word_for_overflow_wrap() in MuPDF 1.26.4 when rendering a malformed EPUB document. Specifically, the function calls fz_html_split_flow() to split a FLOW_WORD node, but does not check if node->next is valid before accessing node->next->overflow_wrap, resulting in a crash if the split fails or returns a partial node chain.
A null pointer dereference vulnerability has been identified in MuPDF version 1.26.4. This issue occurs in the function 'break_word_for_overflow_wrap()' while rendering a malformed EPUB document. The vulnerability arises because the function attempts to split a FLOW_WORD node without verifying the validity of 'node->next', leading to a crash if the split operation fails or returns an incomplete node chain.
This vulnerability has been fixed in the MuPDF GitHub repository. Users can update to the latest version to address this issue.
