Title:
NULL ptr dereference in TextSelectionPainter::hasGlyphLessFont() with
certain PDF
Status in poppler package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
When viewing a certain PDF (which I unfortunately can't share) using
evince, a see a crash in libpoppler90. It's a NULL pointer dereference
in TextSelectionPainter::hasGlyphLessFont(), because in this certain
PDF, for whatever reason, sel->word->getFontName(0) may return NULL.
Attached you'll find a proposed patch increasing the robustness in
this case.
Cheers,
Enrik
