Poppler is a Portable Document Format (PDF) rendering library, used by
applications such as Evince.
Multiple integer overflow flaws were found in poppler. 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. (CVE-2009-0147, CVE-2009-1179, CVE-2009-1187, CVE-2009-1188)
Multiple buffer overflow flaws were found in popplerβs JBIG2 decoder. 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. (CVE-2009-0146, CVE-2009-1182)
Multiple flaws were found in popplerβs JBIG2 decoder that could lead to the
freeing of arbitrary memory. 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. (CVE-2009-0166,
CVE-2009-1180)
Multiple input validation flaws were found in popplerβs JBIG2 decoder. 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. (CVE-2009-0800)
Multiple denial of service flaws were found in popplerβs JBIG2 decoder. An
attacker could create a malicious PDF file that would cause applications
that use poppler (such as Evince) to crash when opened. (CVE-2009-0799,
CVE-2009-1181, CVE-2009-1183)
