The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201804-03 (Poppler: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Poppler. Please review       the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.
  Impact :

    A remote attacker, by enticing a user to open a specially crafted PDF,       could cause a Denial of Service condition or have other unspecified       impacts.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

Multiple vulnerabilities were discovered in the poppler PDF rendering library, which could result in denial of service or the execution of arbitrary code if a malformed PDF file is processed.

It was discovered that poppler, a PDF rendering library, was affected by several denial of service (application crash), NULL pointer dereferences and heap-based buffer over-read bugs :

CVE-2017-14975 The FoFiType1C::convertToType0 function in FoFiType1C.cc 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-2017-14976 The FoFiType1C::convertToType0 function in FoFiType1C.cc 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-2017-14977 The FoFiTrueType::getCFFBlock function in FoFiTrueType.cc 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-2017-15565 NULL pointer Dereference exists in the GfxImageColorMap::getGrayLine() function in GfxState.cc via a crafted PDF document.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 0.18.4-6+deb7u4.

We recommend that you upgrade your poppler packages.
