Submit #750978: Artifex Software MuPDF 1.26.2 Uncontrolled Search Pathinfo

TitleArtifex Software MuPDF 1.26.2 Uncontrolled Search Path
DescriptionA DLL search order vulnerability was present in MuPDF for Windows prior to version 1.26.2. The MuPDF application loaded system DLLs using LoadLibrary without restricting the DLL search path, allowing attacker-controlled DLLs placed in user-writable download directories to be loaded instead of legitimate system libraries. This could allow a local attacker to execute arbitrary code in the context of the MuPDF process.
