XPDF v4.04 was discovered to contain a stack overflow vulnerability via the Object::Copy class of object.cc files.

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

  - XPDF v4.04 was discovered to contain a stack overflow vulnerability via the Object::Copy class of     object.cc files. (CVE-2022-33108)

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

There are packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities referenced in the following CVEs:

  - XPDF v4.04 was discovered to contain a stack overflow vulnerability via the Object::Copy class of
    object.cc files. (CVE-2022-33108)

  - There is an invalid memory access in the TextLine class in TextOutputDev.cc in Xpdf 4.0.4 because the text
    extractor mishandles characters at large y coordinates. It can be triggered by (for example) sending a
    crafted pdf file to the pdftotext binary, which allows a remote attacker to cause a Denial of Service
    (Segmentation fault) or possibly have unspecified other impact. (CVE-2022-30524)

  - xpdf 4.04 allocates excessive memory when presented with crafted input. This can be triggered by (for
    example) sending a crafted PDF document to the pdftoppm binary. It is most easily reproduced with the
    DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=afl-clang-fast++ option. (CVE-2022-30775)

  - XPDF v4.0.4 was discovered to contain a segmentation violation via the component /xpdf/AcroForm.cc:538.
    (CVE-2022-36561)
