CVE-2017-14685, CVE-2017-14686, and CVE-2017-14687

     WangLin discovered that a crafted .xps file can crash MuPDF and
     potentially execute arbitrary code in several ways, since the
     application makes unchecked assumptions on the entry format.

CVE-2017-15587

    Terry Chia and Jeremy Heng discovered an integer overflow that can
    cause arbitrary code execution via a crafted .pdf file.
