The remote SUSE host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The remote SUSE Linux SLED15 / SLED_SAP15 / SLES15 / SLES_SAP15 / openSUSE 15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2023:3947-1 advisory.

- In Poppler 22.07.0, PDFDoc::savePageAs in PDFDoc.c callows attackers to cause a denial-of-service (application crashes with SIGABRT) by crafting a PDF file in which the xref data structure is mishandled in getCatalog processing. Note that this vulnerability is caused by the incomplete patch of CVE-2018-20662. (CVE-2022-37050)

- An issue was discovered in Poppler 22.07.0. There is a reachable abort which leads to denial of service because the main function in pdfunite.cc lacks a stream check before saving an embedded file.
(CVE-2022-37051)

- An issue was discovered in Poppler 22.08.0. There is a reachable assertion in Object.h, will lead to denial of service because PDFDoc::replacePageDict in PDFDoc.cc lacks a stream check before saving an embedded file. (CVE-2022-38349)

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