In PoDoFo 0.9.5, there is an integer overflow in the PdfObjectStreamParserObject::ReadObjectsFromStream function (base/PdfObjectStreamParserObject.cpp). Remote attackers could leverage this vulnerability to cause a denial-of-service via a crafted pdf file.

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

  - In PoDoFo 0.9.5, there is an integer overflow in the PdfObjectStreamParserObject::ReadObjectsFromStream     function (base/PdfObjectStreamParserObject.cpp). Remote attackers could leverage this vulnerability to     cause a denial-of-service via a crafted pdf file. (CVE-2018-5309)

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

The remote SUSE Linux SLES15 / openSUSE 15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2024:3550-1 advisory.
