description
PyMuPDF versions 1.25.3 through versions before 2.0 are affected by a stack-based buffer overflow when processing free-text annotation callout data. An attacker may crash the process or execute code if they can control the callout data passed to the annotation API.
mitigation
Upgrade PyMuPDF to version 2.0 or later. Until upgraded, do not pass untrusted callout data to free-text annotation creation.
fixed in 2.0
outcome
Contextual check: a technique exists and was validated, but no deterministic check could cover this one.
