poppler since version 0.17.3 has been vulnerable to NULL pointer dereference in pdfunite triggered by specially crafted documents.

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: heap buffer overflow in ExponentialFunction (CVE-2015-8868)

  - 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)

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

This plugin has been deprecated as it does not adhere to established standards for this style of check.

The remote SUSE Linux SLES12 / SLES_SAP12 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2023:4941-1 advisory.

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

  - In Poppler 0.72.0, PDFDoc::setup in PDFDoc.cc allows attackers to cause a denial-of-service (application     crash caused by Object.h SIGABRT, because of a wrong return value from PDFDoc::setup) by crafting a PDF     file in which an xref data structure is mishandled during extractPDFSubtype processing. (CVE-2018-20662)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

According to the versions of the poppler packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - 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 before 0.70.0 has a NULL pointer dereference in
    _poppler_attachment_new when called from     poppler_annot_file_attachment_get_attachment.(CVE-2018-     19149)

  - 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 JPXStream::init function in Poppler 0.78.0 and     earlier doesn't check for negative values of stream     length, leading to an Integer Overflow, thereby making     it possible to allocate a large memory chunk on the     heap, with a size controlled by an attacker, as     demonstrated by pdftocairo.(CVE-2019-9959)
