SumatraPDF: Signed integer overflow in the LIT header parsing causes invalid-pointer read

Type: advisorySource: Official CVE List1 source record

SumatraPDF is a multi-format reader for Windows. In 3.7.0.22298, LitParseHeader() in src/LitDoc.cpp computes the attacker-controlled hdrLen + nPieces * 16 section offset using signed 32-bit arithmetic without validating the complete result. When the component values make that aggregate calculation overflow to a negative value, pointer construction reaches an invalid read in LitU32(), causing deterministic application termination. The supplied evidence does not demonstrate code execution, information disclosure, arbitrary read, or integrity impact. No fixed version is available as of this review.
