Debian DLA-1706-1 : poppler security update

high Nessus Plugin ID 122720

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

Several security vulnerabilities were discovered in the poppler PDF rendering shared library.

CVE-2018-19058

A reachable abort in Object.h will lead to denial of service because EmbFile::save2 in FileSpec.cc lacks a stream check before saving an embedded file.

CVE-2018-20481

Poppler mishandles unallocated XRef entries, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference) via a crafted PDF document.

CVE-2018-20662

Poppler allows attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash and segmentation fault by crafting a PDF file in which an xref data structure is corrupted.

CVE-2019-7310

A heap-based buffer over-read (due to an integer signedness error in the XRef::getEntry function in XRef.cc) allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted PDF document.

CVE-2019-9200

A heap-based buffer underwrite exists in ImageStream::getLine() located at Stream.cc that can (for example) be triggered by sending a crafted PDF file to the pdfimages binary. It allows an attacker to cause denial of service (segmentation fault) or possibly have unspecified other impact.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', these problems have been fixed in version 0.26.5-2+deb8u8.

We recommend that you upgrade your poppler packages.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Upgrade the affected packages.
