The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  • poppler: recursive function call in JBIG2Stream::readGenericBitmap() in JBIG2Stream.cc causing denial of service (CVE-2019-9543)

  • freedesktop.org libpoppler 0.60.1 fails to validate boundaries in TextPool::addWord, leading to overflow in subsequent calculations. (CVE-2017-1000456)

  • In Poppler 0.59.0, a NULL Pointer Dereference exists in the XRef::parseEntry() function in XRef.cc via a crafted PDF document. (CVE-2017-14517)

  • In Poppler 0.59.0, a floating point exception exists in the isImageInterpolationRequired() function in Splash.cc via a crafted PDF document. (CVE-2017-14518)

  • In Poppler 0.59.0, memory corruption occurs in a call to Object::streamGetChar in Object.h after a repeating series of Gfx::display, Gfx::go, Gfx::execOp, Gfx::opShowText, and Gfx::doShowText calls (aka a Gfx.cc infinite loop). (CVE-2017-14519)

  • In Poppler 0.59.0, a floating point exception occurs in Splash::scaleImageYuXd() in Splash.cc, which may lead to a potential attack when handling malicious PDF files. (CVE-2017-14520)

  • In Poppler 0.59.0, a floating point exception occurs in the ImageStream class in Stream.cc, which may lead to a potential attack when handling malicious PDF files. (CVE-2017-14617)

  • In Poppler 0.59.0, a NULL Pointer Dereference exists in AnnotRichMedia::Content::Content in Annot.cc via a crafted PDF document. (CVE-2017-14926)

  • In Poppler 0.59.0, a NULL Pointer Dereference exists in the SplashOutputDev::type3D0() function in SplashOutputDev.cc via a crafted PDF document. (CVE-2017-14927)

  • In Poppler 0.59.0, a NULL Pointer Dereference exists in AnnotRichMedia::Configuration::Configuration in Annot.cc via a crafted PDF document. (CVE-2017-14928)

  • In Poppler 0.59.0, memory corruption occurs in a call to Object::dictLookup() in Object.h after a repeating series of Gfx::display, Gfx::go, Gfx::execOp, Gfx::opFill, Gfx::doPatternFill, Gfx::doTilingPatternFill and Gfx::drawForm calls (aka a Gfx.cc infinite loop), a different vulnerability than CVE-2017-14519. (CVE-2017-14929)

  • The FoFiType1C::convertToType0 function in FoFiType1C.cc in Poppler 0.59.0 has a NULL pointer dereference vulnerability because a data structure is not initialized, which allows an attacker to launch a denial of service attack. (CVE-2017-14975)

  • The FoFiType1C::convertToType0 function in FoFiType1C.cc in Poppler 0.59.0 has a heap-based buffer over- read vulnerability if an out-of-bounds font dictionary index is encountered, which allows an attacker to launch a denial of service attack. (CVE-2017-14976)

  • The FoFiTrueType::getCFFBlock function in FoFiTrueType.cc in Poppler 0.59.0 has a NULL pointer dereference vulnerability due to lack of validation of a table pointer, which allows an attacker to launch a denial of service attack. (CVE-2017-14977)

  • In Poppler 0.59.0, a NULL Pointer Dereference exists in the GfxImageColorMap::getGrayLine() function in GfxState.cc via a crafted PDF document. (CVE-2017-15565)

  • poppler since version 0.17.3 has been vulnerable to NULL pointer dereference in pdfunite triggered by specially crafted documents. (CVE-2017-7511)

  • poppler through version 0.55.0 is vulnerable to an uncontrolled recursion in pdfunite resulting into potential denial-of-service. (CVE-2017-7515)

  • poppler 0.54.0, as used in Evince and other products, has a NULL pointer dereference in the JPXStream::readUByte function in JPXStream.cc. For example, the perf_test utility will crash (segmentation fault) when parsing an invalid PDF file. (CVE-2017-9083)

  • In Poppler 0.54.0, a memory leak vulnerability was found in the function gmalloc in gmem.cc, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted file. (CVE-2017-9406)

  • In Poppler 0.54.0, a memory leak vulnerability was found in the function Object::initArray in Object.cc, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted file. (CVE-2017-9408)

  • The function GfxImageColorMap::getGray in GfxState.cc in Poppler 0.54.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (stack-based buffer over-read and application crash) via a crafted PDF document, related to missing color-map validation in ImageOutputDev.cc. (CVE-2017-9865)

  • FontInfoScanner::scanFonts in FontInfo.cc in Poppler 0.75.0 has infinite recursion, leading to a call to the error function in Error.cc. (CVE-2019-11026)

  • A flaw was found in Poppler in the way certain PDF files were converted into HTML. A remote attacker could exploit this flaw by providing a malicious PDF file that, when processed by the ‘pdftohtml’ program, would crash the application causing a denial of service. (CVE-2020-27778)

  • An issue was discovered in freedesktop poppler version 20.12.1, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (DoS) via crafted .pdf file to FoFiType1C::cvtGlyph function. (CVE-2020-36023)

  • An issue was discovered in freedesktop poppler version 20.12.1, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (DoS) via crafted .pdf file to FoFiType1C::convertToType1 function. (CVE-2020-36024)

  • A logic error in the Hints::Hints function of Poppler v22.03.0 allows attackers to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) via a crafted PDF file. (CVE-2022-27337)

  • In Poppler 22.07.0, PDFDoc::savePageAs in PDFDoc.c callows attackers to cause a denial-of-service (application crashes with SIGABRT) by crafting a PDF file in which the xref data structure is mishandled in getCatalog processing. Note that this vulnerability is caused by the incomplete patch of CVE-2018-20662. (CVE-2022-37050)

  • An issue was discovered in Poppler 22.07.0. There is a reachable abort which leads to denial of service because the main function in pdfunite.cc lacks a stream check before saving an embedded file.
    (CVE-2022-37051)

  • A reachable Object::getString assertion in Poppler 22.07.0 allows attackers to cause a denial of service due to a failure in markObject. (CVE-2022-37052)

  • An issue was discovered in Poppler 22.08.0. There is a reachable assertion in Object.h, will lead to denial of service because PDFDoc::replacePageDict in PDFDoc.cc lacks a stream check before saving an embedded file. (CVE-2022-38349)

  • Poppler prior to and including 22.08.0 contains an integer overflow in the JBIG2 decoder (JBIG2Stream::readTextRegionSeg() in JBIGStream.cc). Processing a specially crafted PDF file or JBIG2 image could lead to a crash or the execution of arbitrary code. This is similar to the vulnerability described by CVE-2022-38171 in Xpdf. (CVE-2022-38784)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager’s report that the package is installed.
