 - CCITTFaxStream::readRow() in Stream.cc in Xpdf 4.00 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer over-read) via a crafted pdf file, as demonstrated by pdftoppm. (CVE-2018-18454)

 - The function Object::isName() in Object.h (called from Gfx::opSetFillColorN) in Xpdf 4.00 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (stack-based buffer over-read) via a crafted pdf file, as demonstrated by pdftoppm. (CVE-2018-18456)

 - In Xpdf 4.01.01, there is an out-of-bounds read vulnerability in the function SplashXPath::strokeAdjust() located at splash/SplashXPath.cc.
