PoDoFo 0.9.5 does not properly validate memcpy arguments in the PdfMemoryOutputStream::Write function (base/PdfOutputStream.cpp). Remote attackers could leverage this vulnerability to cause a denial-of-service or possibly unspecified other impact via a crafted pdf file.

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.
