Also accept -accessibility=n with 256 bit keys even though it will be ignored.
-
For std::string and std::vector, replace operator[] with at. This was done using an automated process. See README.hardening for details.
-
If not available, give an error. The user may also configure qpdf to use an insecure random number generator.
-
Ideally, the library should never call assert outside of test code, but it does in several places. For some cases where the assertion might conceivably fail because of a problem with the input data, replace assertions with exceptions so that they can be trapped by the calling application. This commit surely misses some cases and replaced some cases unnecessarily, but it should still be an improvement.
-
In places where std::vector<T>(size_t) was used, either validate that the size parameter is sane or refactor code to avoid the need to pre-allocate the vector.
-
The /W array was not sanitized, possibly causing an integer overflow in a multiplication. An analysis of the code suggests that there were no possible exploits based on this since the problems were in checking expected values but bounds checks were performed on actual values.
-
The faulty code was only used during explicit checks of linearization data. Those checks are not part of normal reading or writing of PDF files.
-
Better sanity check inputs to bit stream reader
-
4.2.0 was binary incompatible in spite of there being no deletions or changes to any public methods. As such, we have to bump the ABI and are fixing some API breakage while we're at it. Previous 4.3.0 target is now 5.1.0.
-
This is a cosmetic change since both are accepted.
-
Detect a missing page range and assume 1-z.

Thanks to Jiri Popelka from Red Hat for sending the output of a Coverity run over qpdf.

Space rather than newline after xref, missing /ID in trailer for encrypted file. This enables qpdf to handle some files that xpdf can handle. Adobe reader can't necessarily handle them.
-
Bug fixes for 4.2.0 force additional interfaces, so move most of the 4.2.0 items to 4.3.0.
-
Even though this case is not valid according to the spec, it has been seen, and caused an internal error.
-
Rework QPDFWriter to always track old object IDs and QPDFObjGen instead of int, thus not discarding the generation number. Switch to QPDF::getCompressibleObjGen() to properly handle the case of an old object eligible for compression that has a generation of other than zero.
-
In internal code and examples, replace calls to getObjectID() and getGeneration() with calls to getObjGen() where possible.
-
This is safer than getObjectID() and getGeneration() for many uses.
