Miggo AIRoot Cause Analysis

The vulnerability stems from a missing NULL check in PDFParser::ParseLastXrefPosition. The patch adds a critical null check after calling mObjectParser.ParseNewObject(), confirming that prior versions would dereference a null pointer when parsing truncated PDF files. The test case added in the commit (BrokenPdfBadHeader.txt) triggers this code path, and the CWE-690 classification directly maps to this unchecked return value scenario.
