    Debian Bug     : 1103545 1108784 1110463 1117046 1117853 1138708

    Multiple vulnerabilities were discovered in poppler, a PDF rendering
    library, which could result in signature forgery, information
    disclosure, denial of service, or potentially the execution of arbitrary
    code.

    The following security issues have been identified (and fixed) in poppler
    as shipped in Debian bullseye and Debian bookworm.

    CVE-2025-43903

        It was discovered signatures with non-empty encapsulated content
        (typically adbe.pkcs7.sha1) were not correctly verified, thereby
        allowing trivial signature forgery.

    CVE-2025-50420

        An infinite recursion issue was discovered in the pdfseparate(1)
        utility, which may cause denial of service via crafted PDF input
        file.

    CVE-2025-52886

        Kevin Backhouse discovered an integer overflow issue, which may lead
        to use-after-free via crafted PDF input file.

    For Debian 12 bookworm, these problems have been fixed in version
    22.12.0-2+deb12u3.

    In addition, the following issues have been fixed in the poppler version
    as shipped in Debian bullseye (for bookworm, these issues were already
    fixed in 22.12.0-2+deb12u2 from DSA-6334-1):

    CVE-2025-43718

        It was discovered that crafted PDF files containing deeply nested
        structures within the metadata could lead to Denial of Service.

    CVE-2025-52885

        Antonio Morales discovered a use-after-free issue, which may lead to
        arbitrary code execution via crafted PDF input files.

    CVE-2026-10118

        An integer overflow issue was discovered in tilingPatternFill, which
        may lead to arbitrary code execution via crafted PDF input files.

    For Debian 11 bullseye, these problems have been fixed in version
    20.09.0-3.1+deb11u3.

    We recommend that you upgrade your poppler packages.
