GHSA-fhp4-pr5j-46m5: Muhammara has a NULL pointer dereference in LZWDecode filter when DecodeParms omits EarlyChange key

June 26, 2026

A NULL pointer dereference vulnerability exists in PDFParser::CreateFilterForStream() when processing a PDF stream with /Filter /LZWDecode and a /DecodeParms dictionary that does not contain the EarlyChange key. This causes an access violation (0xC0000005) and crashes the process.
