Description

 - An issue was discovered in PDFResurrect before 0.18. pdf_load_pages_kids in pdf.c doesn't validate a certain size value, which leads to a malloc failure and out-of-bounds write. (CVE-2019-14934)

 - PDFResurrect before 0.20 lack of header validation checks causes heap-buffer-overflow in pdf_get_version(). (CVE-2020-20740)
