Poppler 0.74 Multiple Vulnerabilities
high Nessus Plugin ID 127045
Language:
Synopsis
A package installed on the remote host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.Description
The version of Poppler installed on the remote host is 0.74. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:- An issue was discovered in Poppler 0.74.0. A recursive function call, in JBIG2Stream::readGenericBitmap() located in JBIG2Stream.cc, can be triggered by sending a crafted pdf file to (for example) the pdfseparate binary. It allows an attacker to cause Denial of Service (Segmentation fault) or possibly have unspecified other impact. This is related to JArithmeticDecoder::decodeBit. (CVE-2019-9543)
- PDFDoc::markObject in PDFDoc.cc in Poppler 0.74.0 mishandles dict marking, leading to stack consumption in the function Dict::find() located at Dict.cc, which can (for example) be triggered by passing a crafted pdf file to the pdfunite binary. (CVE-2019-9903)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
Solution
Upgrade to a patched version of Poppler once it is available.See Also
