Subject: podofo: signed integer overflow in PdfParser.cpp

Description:
podofo is a C++ library to work with the PDF file format.

A fuzz on it with the UBSAN discovered a signed integer overflow. The upstream 
project denies me to open a new ticket. So, I’m unable to communicate with 
them.

The complete UBSan output:

# podofopdfinfo $FILE
/tmp/portage/app-

in type 'long'
