Heap-based buffer overflow in the PdfParser::ReadXRefSubsection function in base/PdfParser.cpp in PoDoFo allows attackers to have unspecified impact via vectors related to m_offsets.size.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - Heap-based buffer overflow in the PdfParser::ReadXRefSubsection function in base/PdfParser.cpp in PoDoFo     allows attackers to have unspecified impact via vectors related to m_offsets.size. (CVE-2015-8981)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

Several heap-based buffer overflows, integer overflows and NULL pointer dereferences have been discovered in libpodofo, a library for manipulating PDF files, that allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or other unspecified impact via a crafted PDF document.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 0.9.0-1.1+deb7u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your libpodofo packages.
