The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201801-17 (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 execute arbitrary code or cause a Denial of Service condition.
  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.

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).
