Alpine: multiple qpdf packages: security update to 7.0.0-r0

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 406798

Description

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

- The tokenizer in QPDF 6.0.0 and 7.0.b1 is recursive for arrays and dictionaries, which allows remote
attackers to cause a denial of service (stack consumption and segmentation fault) or possibly have
unspecified other impact via a PDF document with a deep data structure, as demonstrated by a crash in
QPDFObjectHandle::parseInternal in libqpdf/QPDFObjectHandle.cc. (CVE-2017-12595)

- libqpdf.a in QPDF 6.0.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite recursion and stack
consumption) via a crafted PDF document, related to releaseResolved functions, aka qpdf-infiniteloop1.
(CVE-2017-9208)

- libqpdf.a in QPDF 6.0.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite recursion and stack
consumption) via a crafted PDF document, related to QPDFObjectHandle::parseInternal, aka qpdf-
infiniteloop2. (CVE-2017-9209)

- libqpdf.a in QPDF 6.0.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite recursion and stack
consumption) via a crafted PDF document, related to unparse functions, aka qpdf-infiniteloop3.
(CVE-2017-9210)

- A stack-consumption vulnerability was found in libqpdf in QPDF 6.0.0, which allows attackers to cause a
denial of service via a crafted file, related to the QPDFTokenizer::resolveLiteral function in
QPDFTokenizer.cc after two consecutive calls to QPDFObjectHandle::parseInternal, aka an "infinite loop."
(CVE-2017-11624)
