(CVE-2017-2820)

    Jiaqi Peng discovered that the poppler pdfunite tool incorrectly parsed certain malformed PDF documents.
    If a user or automated system were tricked into opening a crafted PDF file, an attacker could cause     poppler to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2017-7511)

    It was discovered that the poppler pdfunite tool incorrectly parsed certain malformed PDF documents. If a     user or automated system were tricked into opening a crafted PDF file, an attacker could cause poppler to     hang, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2017-7515)

    It was discovered that poppler incorrectly handled JPEG 2000 images. If a user or automated system were     tricked into opening a crafted PDF file, an attacker could cause cause poppler to crash, resulting in a     denial of service. (CVE-2017-9083)

    It was discovered that poppler incorrectly handled memory when processing PDF documents. If a user or     automated system were tricked into opening a crafted PDF file, an attacker could cause poppler to consume     resources, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2017-9406, CVE-2017-9408)

    Alberto Garcia, Francisco Oca, and Suleman Ali discovered that the poppler pdftocairo tool incorrectly     parsed certain malformed PDF documents.
