Heap-based buffer overflow in the ExponentialFunction::ExponentialFunction function in Poppler before 0.40.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via an invalid blend mode in the ExtGState dictionary in a crafted PDF document.

According to the version of the compat-poppler022 packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerability :

  - Heap-based buffer overflow in the     ExponentialFunction::ExponentialFunction function in     Poppler before 0.40.0 allows remote attackers to cause     a denial of service (memory corruption and crash) or     possibly execute arbitrary code via an invalid blend     mode in the ExtGState dictionary in a crafted PDF     document.(CVE-2015-8868)

Security Fix(es) :

  - A heap-buffer overflow was found in the poppler library.
    An attacker could create a malicious PDF file that would     cause applications that use poppler (such as Evince) to     crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code when     opened. (CVE-2015-8868)

Additional Changes :

An update for poppler is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact of Moderate. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability from the CVE link(s) in the References section.

Poppler is a Portable Document Format (PDF) rendering library, used by applications such as Evince.

Security Fix(es) :

* A heap-buffer overflow was found in the poppler library. An attacker could create a malicious PDF file that would cause applications that use poppler (such as Evince) to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code when opened. (CVE-2015-8868)

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201611-15 (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       using Poppler, 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.

A heap-buffer overflow was found in the poppler library. An attacker could create a malicious PDF file that would cause applications that use poppler to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code when opened.

Security issues fixed :

  - CVE-2015-8868: Corrupted PDF file can corrupt heap,     causing DoS (boo#976844)

It was discovered that the poppler pdfseparate tool incorrectly handled certain filenames. A local attacker could use this issue to cause the tool to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. This issue only applied to Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.
(CVE-2013-4473, CVE-2013-4474)

It was discovered that poppler incorrectly parsed certain 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. (CVE-2015-8868).

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

It was discovered that a heap overflow in the Poppler PDF library may result in denial of service and potentially the execution of arbitrary code if a malformed PDF file is opened.

A heap buffer overflow vulnerability was found in the poppler library.
A maliciously crafted file could cause the application to crash. The issue happens when 'ExtGState' is not a valid blend mode.
