Vulnerability Type: 
CWE ID: CWE-787
Summary: An issue was discovered in PDFResurrect before 0.18. pdf_load_pages_kids in pdf.c doesn't validate a certain size value, which leads to a malloc failure and out-of-bounds write.
Commit Message: Zero and sanity check all dynamic allocs.

This addresses the memory issues in Issue #6 expressed in
calloc_some.pdf and malloc_some.pdf
