From Red Hat Security Advisory 2010:0754 :

Updated cups packages that fix one security issue are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3.

The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having important security impact. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available from the CVE link in the References section.

The Common UNIX Printing System (CUPS) provides a portable printing layer for UNIX operating systems. The CUPS 'pdftops' filter converts Portable Document Format (PDF) files to PostScript.

An uninitialized pointer use flaw was discovered in the CUPS 'pdftops' filter. An attacker could create a malicious PDF file that, when printed, would cause 'pdftops' to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code as the 'lp' user. (CVE-2010-3702)

Users of cups are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch to correct this issue. After installing this update, the cupsd daemon will be restarted automatically.

The remote Oracle Linux 6 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ELSA-2010-0859 advisory.

    - Add poppler-0.12.4-CVE-2010-3702.patch         (Properly initialize parser)
    - Add poppler-0.12.4-CVE-2010-3703.patch         (Properly initialize stack)
    - Add poppler-0.12.4-CVE-2010-3704.patch         (Fix crash in broken pdf (code < 0))

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Oracle Linux security advisory.

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

Specially crafted PDF files could crash poppler or potentially even cause execution of arbitrary code (CVE-2010-3702, CVE-2010-3704)

Updated poppler packages that fix two security issues are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having important security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base scores, which give detailed severity ratings, are available for each vulnerability from the CVE links in the References section.

Poppler is a Portable Document Format (PDF) rendering library, used by applications such as Evince.

An uninitialized pointer use flaw was discovered in poppler. An attacker could create a malicious PDF file that, when opened, would cause applications that use poppler (such as Evince) to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2010-3702)

An array index error was found in the way poppler parsed PostScript Type 1 fonts embedded in PDF documents. An attacker could create a malicious PDF file that, when opened, would cause applications that use poppler (such as Evince) to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2010-3704)

Users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported patches to correct these issues.

Multiple vulnerabilities were discovered and corrected in poppler :

The Gfx::getPos function in the PDF parser in poppler, allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via unknown vectors that trigger an uninitialized pointer dereference (CVE-2010-3702).

The PostScriptFunction::PostScriptFunction function in poppler/Function.cc in the PDF parser in poppler, allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a PDF file that triggers an uninitialized pointer dereference (CVE-2010-3703).

The FoFiType1::parse function in fofi/FoFiType1.cc in the PDF parser in poppler, allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a PDF file with a crafted Type1 font that contains a negative array index, which bypasses input validation and which triggers memory corruption (CVE-2010-3704).

The updated packages have been patched to correct these issues.

Specially crafted PDF files could crash poppler or potentially even cause execution of arbitrary code (CVE-2010-3702 / CVE-2010-3704).
This has been fixed.

  - The OpenOffice.org start script and other shell scripts expand the LD_LIBRARY_PATH in a way that the current directory might be searched for libraries before /lib and /usr/lib. (CVE-2010-3689)

  - Issues exist in the third party XPDF library relating to PDf processing that may allow arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2010-3702, CVE-2010-3704)
