Stack buffer overflow in GfxState.cc in pdftocairo in Poppler before 0.56 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted PDF document.

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.

Stack-buffer overflow in GfxState.cc :

A stack-based buffer overflow was found in the poppler library. 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-2017-9775)

Integer overflow in JBIG2Stream.cc :

An integer overflow leading to heap-based buffer overflow was found in the poppler library. 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-2017-9776)

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

  - A stack-based buffer overflow was found in the poppler     library. 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-2017-9775)

  - An integer overflow leading to heap-based buffer     overflow was found in the poppler library. 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-2017-9776)

The remote Oracle Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ELSA-2017-2551 advisory.

    [0.26.5-17]
    - Resolves: rhbz#1482934 CVE-2017-9776

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Oracle Linux security advisory.

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

Several buffer and integer overflow issues were discovered in Poppler, a PDF library, that could lead to application crash or possibly other unspecified impact via maliciously crafted files.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 0.18.4-6+deb7u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your poppler packages.

Poppler developers report :

Poppler is prone to a stack-based buffer-overflow vulnerability.

Successful exploits may allow attackers to crash the affected application, resulting in denial-of-service condition. Due to the nature of this issue, arbitrary code execution may be possible but this has not been confirmed.

This update fixes multiple security vulnerabilities (CVE-2017-7515, CVE-2017-9775, CVE-2017-9776, CVE-2017-9865).

The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS / 16.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-3350-1 advisory.

    Aleksandar Nikolic discovered that poppler incorrectly handled JPEG 2000 images.

(CVE-2017-2820)

    Jiaqi Peng discovered that the poppler pdfunite tool incorrectly parsed certain malformed PDF documents.

    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)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

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

The version of Poppler installed on the remote host is prior to 0.56.0. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - A stack-based overflow condition exists in the     getColor() function in GfxState.cc due to improper     validation of user-supplied input. An unauthenticated,     remote attacker can exploit this, by convincing a user     to open a specially crafted PDF document, to crash the     process, resulting in a denial of service condition.
    (CVE-2017-9775)

  - An integer overflow condition exists in the combine()     function in JBIG2Stream.cc due to improper validation of     user-supplied input. An unauthenticated, remote attacker     can exploit this, by convincing a user to open a     specially crafted PDF document, to cause a denial of     service condition or the execution of arbitrary code.
