Cross-compiling proves the code is well-formed for a target. It says nothing about whether it computes the right answer there, and this package reassembles multi-byte numbers out of a byte stream and multiplies widths by heights -- the two shapes in which an endianness assumption and an integer overflow hide. Six lanes under qemu-user-static: riscv64, loong64, ppc64le, s390x (big-endian) and 386/arm (32-bit int). The same lanes on go-pdfkit/render found a real defect within the hour: a ceiling written as `cw*ch > max` that a 32-bit int wrapped past, letting a 1 KB file ask the decoder for four gigabytes.

What this changes
One job, six lanes —
riscv64,loong64,ppc64le,s390x,386,arm—each running the full test suite under
qemu-user-static.fail-fast: false,so one architecture failing does not hide the next one's result.
Why a cross-compile was not enough
A build proves the code is well-formed for a target. It proves nothing about
whether it computes the right answer there, and this is a byte-stream reader:
every multi-byte number it reassembles is a place an endianness assumption can
sit undisturbed for as long as nobody looks, and every width × height is a
product that fits a 64-bit
intand may not fit a 32-bit one.That is not hypothetical. The same two lanes added to
go-pdfkit/renderfound aceiling that a 32-bit
intwalked straight through —65535 × 65535wraps to−131 071, so a 1 KB file made the decoder ask for four gigabytes — and, from
the same thread, a
MediaBoxof1e300that panicked the renderer on 64-bittoo.
Where this leaves the references
poppler and pdfium test on none of the four 64-bit architectures here. 32-bit
ARM they do hold, and we did not.
