A reachable Object::getString assertion in Poppler 22.07.0 allows attackers to cause a denial of service due to a failure in markObject.

The AlmaLinux 9.2 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TuxCare ALMALINUX9.2:CLSA-2026:1781191047 advisory.

  - In Poppler 22.07.0, PDFDoc::savePageAs in PDFDoc.c callows attackers to cause a denial-of-service     (application crashes with SIGABRT) by crafting a PDF file in which the xref data structure is mishandled     in getCatalog processing. Note that this vulnerability is caused by the incomplete patch of     CVE-2018-20662. (CVE-2022-37050)

  - An issue was discovered in Poppler 22.07.0. There is a reachable abort which leads to denial of service     because the main function in pdfunite.cc lacks a stream check before saving an embedded file.
    (CVE-2022-37051)
