In Xpdf 4.01.01, a heap-based buffer over-read could be triggered in strncpy from FoFiType1::parse in fofi/FoFiType1.cc because it does not ensure the source string has a valid length before making a fixed-length copy. It can, for example, be triggered by sending a crafted PDF document to the pdftotext tool. It allows an attacker to use a crafted pdf file to cause Denial of Service or an information leak, or possibly have unspecified other impact.

The remote SUSE Linux SLES12 / SLES_SAP12 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2023:0494-1 advisory.

  - In Xpdf 4.01.01, a heap-based buffer over-read could be triggered in strncpy from FoFiType1::parse in     fofi/FoFiType1.cc because it does not ensure the source string has a valid length before making a fixed-     length copy. It can, for example, be triggered by sending a crafted PDF document to the pdftotext tool. It     allows an attacker to use a crafted pdf file to cause Denial of Service or an information leak, or     possibly have unspecified other impact. (CVE-2019-13283)

  - Poppler prior to and including 22.08.0 contains an integer overflow in the JBIG2 decoder     (JBIG2Stream::readTextRegionSeg() in JBIGStream.cc). Processing a specially crafted PDF file or JBIG2     image could lead to a crash or the execution of arbitrary code. This is similar to the vulnerability     described by CVE-2022-38171 in Xpdf. (CVE-2022-38784)

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

The remote Ubuntu 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-4646-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that Poppler incorrectly handled certain files. If a user or automated system were     tricked into opening a crafted PDF file, an attacker could cause a denial of service.
