The PoDoFo::PdfVariant::DelayedLoad function in PdfVariant.h in PoDoFo 0.9.6 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference) via a crafted file, because of ImageExtractor.cpp.

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.
