poppler/Stream.cc in poppler before 0.22.1 allows context-dependent attackers to have an unspecified impact via vectors that trigger a read of uninitialized memory by the CCITTFaxStream::lookChar function.

The remote Solaris system is missing necessary patches to address security updates :

  - The RenderV2ToFile function in tag_file.cpp in id3lib     (aka libid3) 3.8.3 allows local users to overwrite     arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a temporary file     whose name is constructed from the name of a file being     tagged. (CVE-2007-4460)

  - poppler before 0.22.1 allows context-dependent attackers     to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly     execute arbitrary code via vectors that trigger an     'invalid memory access' in (1) splash/Splash.cc, (2)     poppler/Function.cc, and (3) poppler/Stream.cc.
    (CVE-2013-1788)

  - splash/Splash.cc in poppler before 0.22.1 allows     context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service     (NULL pointer dereference and crash) via vectors related     to the (1) Splash::arbitraryTransformMask, (2)     Splash::blitMask, and (3) Splash::scaleMaskYuXu     functions. (CVE-2013-1789)

  - poppler/Stream.cc in poppler before 0.22.1 allows     context-dependent attackers to have an unspecified     impact via vectors that trigger a read of uninitialized     memory by the CCITTFaxStream::lookChar function.
    (CVE-2013-1790)

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201310-03 (Poppler: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Poppler. Please review       the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.
  Impact :

    A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted PDF       file, possibly resulting in execution of arbitrary code with the       privileges of the process or a Denial of Service condition.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

Multiple vulnerabilities were discovered in the poppler PDF rendering library.

  - CVE-2013-1788     Multiple invalid memory access issues, which could     potentially lead to arbitrary code execution if the user     were tricked into opening a malformed PDF document.

  - CVE-2013-1790     An uninitialized memory issue, which could potentially     lead to arbitrary code execution if the user were     tricked into opening a malformed PDF document.

Multiple vulnerabilities has been found and corrected in poppler :

poppler before 0.22.1 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via vectors that trigger an invalid memory access in (1) splash/Splash.cc, (2) poppler/Function.cc, and (3) poppler/Stream.cc (CVE-2013-1788).

poppler/Stream.cc in poppler before 0.22.1 allows context-dependent attackers to have an unspecified impact via vectors that trigger a read of uninitialized memory by the CCITTFaxStream::lookChar function (CVE-2013-1790).

The updated packages have been patched to correct these issues.

It was discovered that poppler contained multiple security issues when parsing malformed PDF documents. If a user or automated system were tricked into opening a crafted PDF file, an attacker could cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code with privileges of the user invoking the program.

This update of poppler fixes the following vulnerabilities :

  - Various invalid memory issues could be used by attackers     supplying PDFs to crash the PDF viewer or potentially     execute code. (CVE-2013-1788)

  - A crash in poppler could be used by attackers providing     PDFs to crash the PDF viewer. (CVE-2013-1789)

  - An uninitialized memory read could be used by attackers     providing PDFs to crash the PDF viewer. (CVE-2013-1790)

This also fixes that transparent background in images are rendered black with evince. (bnc#745620).
