CVE-2025-55780

A null pointer dereference occurs in the function breakwordforoverflowwrap() in MuPDF 1.26.4 when rendering a malformed EPUB document. Specifically, the function calls fzhtmlsplitflow() to split a FLOWWORD node, but does not check if node->next is valid before accessing node->next->overflow_wrap, resulting in a crash if the split fails or returns a partial node chain.
