The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200601-17 (Xpdf, Poppler, GPdf, libextractor, pdftohtml: Heap overflows)

Chris Evans has reported some integer overflows in Xpdf when     attempting to calculate buffer sizes for memory allocation, leading to     a heap overflow and a potential infinite loop when handling malformed     input files.

Impact :

By sending a specially crafted PDF file to a victim, an attacker     could cause an overflow, potentially resulting in the execution of     arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application.

Workaround :

There is no known workaround at this time.
