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.

  • qpdf: stack exhaustion in QPDFObjectHandle and QPDF_Dictionary classes in libqpdf.a (CVE-2018-9918)

  • A stack-consumption vulnerability was found in libqpdf in QPDF 6.0.0, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted file, related to the QPDFTokenizer::resolveLiteral function in QPDFTokenizer.cc after two consecutive calls to QPDFObjectHandle::parseInternal, aka an infinite loop.
    (CVE-2017-11624)

  • A stack-consumption vulnerability was found in libqpdf in QPDF 6.0.0, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted file, related to the QPDF::resolveObjectsInStream function in QPDF.cc, aka an infinite loop. (CVE-2017-11625)

  • A stack-consumption vulnerability was found in libqpdf in QPDF 6.0.0, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted file, related to the QPDFTokenizer::resolveLiteral function in QPDFTokenizer.cc after four consecutive calls to QPDFObjectHandle::parseInternal, aka an infinite loop.
    (CVE-2017-11626)

  • A stack-consumption vulnerability was found in libqpdf in QPDF 6.0.0, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted file, related to the PointerHolder function in PointerHolder.hh, aka an infinite loop. (CVE-2017-11627)

  • The tokenizer in QPDF 6.0.0 and 7.0.b1 is recursive for arrays and dictionaries, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (stack consumption and segmentation fault) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a PDF document with a deep data structure, as demonstrated by a crash in QPDFObjectHandle::parseInternal in libqpdf/QPDFObjectHandle.cc. (CVE-2017-12595)

  • An issue was discovered in QPDF before 7.0.0. There is an infinite loop in the QPDFWriter::enqueueObject() function in libqpdf/QPDFWriter.cc. (CVE-2017-18183)

  • An issue was discovered in QPDF before 7.0.0. There is a stack-based out-of-bounds read in the function iterate_rc4 in QPDF_encryption.cc. (CVE-2017-18184)

  • An issue was discovered in QPDF before 7.0.0. There is a large heap-based out-of-bounds read in the Pl_Buffer::write function in Pl_Buffer.cc. It is caused by an integer overflow in the PNG filter.
    (CVE-2017-18185)

  • An issue was discovered in QPDF before 7.0.0. There is an infinite loop due to looping xref tables in QPDF.cc. (CVE-2017-18186)

  • libqpdf.a in QPDF 6.0.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite recursion and stack consumption) via a crafted PDF document, related to releaseResolved functions, aka qpdf-infiniteloop1.
    (CVE-2017-9208)

  • libqpdf.a in QPDF 6.0.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite recursion and stack consumption) via a crafted PDF document, related to QPDFObjectHandle::parseInternal, aka qpdf- infiniteloop2. (CVE-2017-9209)

  • libqpdf.a in QPDF 6.0.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite recursion and stack consumption) via a crafted PDF document, related to unparse functions, aka qpdf-infiniteloop3.
    (CVE-2017-9210)

  • An issue was discovered in QPDF version 10.0.4, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted .pdf file to Pl_ASCII85Decoder::write parameter in libqpdf. (CVE-2021-25786)

  • QPDF 9.x through 9.1.1 and 10.x through 10.0.4 has a heap-based buffer overflow in Pl_ASCII85Decoder::write (called from Pl_AES_PDF::flush and Pl_AES_PDF::finish) when a certain downstream write fails. (CVE-2021-36978)

  • Heap Buffer Overflow vulnerability in qpdf 11.9.0 allows attackers to crash the application via the std::__shared_count() function at /bits/shared_ptr_base.h. (CVE-2024-24246)

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