The PdfFontFactory.cpp:195:62 code in PoDoFo 0.9.5 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and application crash) via a crafted PDF document.

Weakness

A NULL pointer dereference occurs when the application dereferences a pointer that it expects to be valid, but is NULL, typically causing a crash or exit.
