Bug#1074146: Confirmation that Poppler's CVE-2024-6239 affects Buster and all subsequent releases

Control: found -1 poppler/0.71.0-5+deb10u3
Control: found -1 poppler/20.09.0-3.1+deb11u1
Control: found -1 poppler/22.12.0-2
Control: found -1 poppler/24.06.0-2

Since I couldn't find detailed information from upstream, I'd like to confirm that I was able to reproduce the crash on Buster, Bullseye, Bookworm, and experimental, and so the Security Tracker information is accurate. I am therefore updating the bug to indicate this as a courtesy to BTS users.

Please note that the vulnerable code and its fix are exclusive to the pdfinfo utility in the poppler-utils binary package; the library is not affected. It might would be helpful if this bug were assigned to that binary package, but it's not my place to make that determination. I don't maintain this package, but do pitch in occasionally and keep a close eye on it.

Thanks and please let me know if I can be of any assistance.
