- CVE-2018-16646: Fixed an infinite recursion which could allow a denial-of-service attack via a specially crafted PDF file (bsc#1107597).
- CVE-2018-18897: Fixed a memory leak (bsc#1114966).
- CVE-2018-19058: Fixed a bug which could allow a denial-of-service attack via a specially crafted PDF file (bsc#1115187).
- CVE-2018-19059: Fixed an out-of-bounds read access which could allow a denial-of-service attack (bsc#1115186).
- CVE-2018-19060: Fixed a NULL pointer dereference which could allow a denial-of-service attack (bsc#1115185).
- CVE-2018-19149: Fixed a NULL pointer dereference which could allow a denial-of-service attack (bsc#1115626).
- CVE-2018-20481: Fixed a NULL pointer dereference while handling unallocated XRef entries which could allow a denial-of-service attack (bsc#1120495).
- CVE-2018-20551: Fixed a reachable assertion which could allow a denial-of-service attack through specially crafted PDF files (bsc#1120496).
- CVE-2018-20650: Fixed a reachable assertion which could allow denial-of-service through specially crafted PDF files (bsc#1120939).
- CVE-2018-20662: Fixed a bug which could potentially crash the running process by SIGABRT resulting in a denial-of-service attack through a specially crafted PDF file (bsc#1120956).
- CVE-2019-10871: Fixed a heap-based buffer over-read in the function PSOutputDev::checkPageSlice at PSOutputDev.cc (bsc#1131696).
