An infinite recursion in Catalog::findDestInTree can cause denial of service for xpdf 4.02.

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

  - An infinite recursion in Catalog::findDestInTree can cause denial of service for xpdf 4.02.
    (CVE-2022-48545)

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)

The remote SUSE Linux SLES12 / SLES_SAP12 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2023:4546-1 advisory.

    - CVE-2019-9545: Fixed a potential crash due to uncontrolled recursion       in the JBIG parser (bsc#1128114).
    - CVE-2019-9631: Fixed an out of bounds read when converting a PDF to       an image (bsc#1129202).
    - CVE-2022-37052: Fixed a reachable assertion when extracting pages of       a PDf file (bsc#1214726).
    - CVE-2020-36023: Fixed a stack bugger overflow in       FoFiType1C:cvtGlyph (bsc#1214256).
    - CVE-2019-14292: Fixed an out of bounds read in GfxState.cc       (bsc#1143570).
    - CVE-2022-48545: Fixed an infinite recursion in       Catalog::findDestInTree which can cause denial of service       (bsc#1214723).

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The remote SUSE Linux SLES12 / SLES_SAP12 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2023:4362-1 advisory.

  - CCITTFaxStream::readRow() in Stream.cc in Xpdf 4.00 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service     (heap-based buffer over-read) via a crafted pdf file, as demonstrated by pdftoppm. (CVE-2018-18454)

  - The function Object::isName() in Object.h (called from Gfx::opSetFillColorN) in Xpdf 4.00 allows remote     attackers to cause a denial of service (stack-based buffer over-read) via a crafted pdf file, as     demonstrated by pdftoppm. (CVE-2018-18456)

  - In Xpdf 4.01.01, there is an out-of-bounds read vulnerability in the function SplashXPath::strokeAdjust()     located at splash/SplashXPath.cc. It can, for example, be triggered by sending a crafted PDF document to     the pdftoppm tool. It might allow an attacker to cause Information Disclosure. This is related to     CVE-2018-16368. (CVE-2019-13287)

  - An issue was discovered in Xpdf 4.01.01. There is an out of bounds read in the function     GfxPatchMeshShading::parse at GfxState.cc for typeA!=6 case 1. (CVE-2019-14292)

  - An issue was discovered in Poppler 0.74.0. A recursive function call, in JBIG2Stream::readTextRegion()     located in JBIG2Stream.cc, can be triggered by sending a crafted pdf file to (for example) the pdfimages     binary. It allows an attacker to cause Denial of Service (Segmentation fault) or possibly have unspecified     other impact. This is related to JBIG2Bitmap::clearToZero. (CVE-2019-9545)

  - Poppler 0.74.0 has a heap-based buffer over-read in the CairoRescaleBox.cc downsample_row_box_filter     function. (CVE-2019-9631)

  - An issue was discovered in freedesktop poppler version 20.12.1, allows remote attackers to cause a denial     of service (DoS) via crafted .pdf file to FoFiType1C::cvtGlyph function. (CVE-2020-36023)

  - A reachable Object::getString assertion in Poppler 22.07.0 allows attackers to cause a denial of service     due to a failure in markObject. (CVE-2022-37052)

  - An infinite recursion in Catalog::findDestInTree can cause denial of service for xpdf 4.02.
