            Bug ID: 103174
           Summary: LZW decompression can fail
           Product: poppler
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: general
          Assignee: poppler-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: k.dohmann at gmx.net

The LZW decompression in Stream.cc / Stream.h uses a dictionary table with the
fixed size of 4096 entries. But the compression is not per definition limited
to this size. I have seen PDF files with tables up to a size of 32k entries.
The resulting decompression failure of course results in rendering issues.
