There are packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities referenced in the following CVEs:

  - Heap-based buffer overflow in the PdfParser::ReadObjects function in base/PdfParser.cpp in PoDoFo 0.9.5
    allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly have unspecified
    other impact via vectors related to m_offsets.size. (CVE-2017-8378)

  - The PoDoFo::PdfXObject::PdfXObject function in PdfXObject.cpp in PoDoFo 0.9.5 allows remote attackers to
    cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference) via a crafted file. (CVE-2017-6848)

  - The PoDoFo::PdfPainter::ExpandTabs function in PdfPainter.cpp in PoDoFo 0.9.5 allows remote attackers to
    cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer over-read and application crash) via a crafted PDF document.
    (CVE-2017-7378)

  - The PoDoFo::PdfSimpleEncoding::ConvertToEncoding function in PdfEncoding.cpp in PoDoFo 0.9.5 allows remote
    attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer over-read and application crash) via a crafted
    PDF document. (CVE-2017-7379)

  - The doc/PdfPage.cpp:614:20 code in PoDoFo 0.9.5 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL
    pointer dereference and application crash) via a crafted PDF document. (CVE-2017-7380)

This update fixes multiple security vulnerabilities: CVE-2017-7380, CVE-2017-7381, CVE-2017-7382, CVE-2017-7383, CVE-2017-5852, CVE-2017-5853, CVE-2017-6844, CVE-2017-5854, CVE-2017-5855, CVE-2017-5886, CVE-2018-8000, CVE-2017-6840, CVE-2017-6842, CVE-2017-6843, CVE-2017-6845, CVE-2017-6847, CVE-2017-6848, CVE-2017-7378, CVE-2017-7379, CVE-2017-7994, CVE-2017-8054, CVE-2017-8378, CVE-2017-8787, CVE-2018-5295, CVE-2018-5308

Several heap-based buffer overflows and NULL pointer dereferences have been discovered in libpodofo, a library for manipulating PDF files, that allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or other unspecified impact via a crafted PDF document.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 0.9.0-1.1+deb7u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your libpodofo packages.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - The PoDoFo::PdfXObject::PdfXObject function in PdfXObject.cpp in PoDoFo 0.9.5 allows remote attackers to     cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference) via a crafted file. (CVE-2017-6848)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.
