medium Nessus Plugin ID 135554

Synopsis

The remote EulerOS host is missing multiple security updates.

Description

According to the versions of the poppler packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

 - poppler 0.54.0, as used in Evince and other products, has a NULL pointer dereference in the JPXStream::readUByte function in JPXStream.cc. For example, the perf_test utility will crash (segmentation fault) when parsing an invalid PDF file.(CVE-2017-9083)

 - poppler through version 0.55.0 is vulnerable to an uncontrolled recursion in pdfunite resulting into potential denial-of-service.(CVE-2017-7515)

 - In Poppler 0.54.0, a memory leak vulnerability was found in the function gmalloc in gmem.cc, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted file.(CVE-2017-9406)

 - In Poppler 0.54.0, a memory leak vulnerability was found in the function Object::initArray in Object.cc, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted file.(CVE-2017-9408)

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

Solution
