"The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version MAIN 4.05, has poppler packages installed that are affected by a
vulnerability:
- An integer overflow leading to heap-based buffer
overflow was found in the poppler library. An attacker
could create a malicious PDF file that would cause
applications that use poppler (such as Evince) to crash,
or potentially execute arbitrary code when opened.
