An issue was discovered in Poppler 0.74.0. A recursive function call, in JBIG2Stream::readGenericBitmap() located in JBIG2Stream.cc, can be triggered by sending a crafted pdf file to (for example) the pdfseparate binary. It allows an attacker to cause Denial of Service (Segmentation fault) or possibly have unspecified other impact. This is related to JArithmeticDecoder::decodeBit.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 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: heap-based buffer over-read in function downsample_row_box_filter in CairoRescaleBox.cc     (CVE-2019-9631)

  - DCTStream.cc in Poppler before 0.13.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a     crafted PDF file. (CVE-2010-5110)

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

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 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: recursive function call in JBIG2Stream::readGenericBitmap() in JBIG2Stream.cc causing denial of     service (CVE-2019-9543)

  - FontInfoScanner::scanFonts in FontInfo.cc in Poppler 0.75.0 has infinite recursion, leading to a call to     the error function in Error.cc. (CVE-2019-11026)

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

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 5 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: recursive function call in JBIG2Stream::readGenericBitmap() in JBIG2Stream.cc causing denial of     service (CVE-2019-9543)

  - DCTStream.cc in Poppler before 0.13.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a     crafted PDF file. (CVE-2010-5110)

  - The error function in Error.cc in poppler before 0.21.4 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary     commands via a PDF containing an escape sequence for a terminal emulator. (CVE-2012-2142)

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

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 version of Poppler installed on the remote host is 0.74. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - An issue was discovered in Poppler 0.74.0. A recursive function call, in JBIG2Stream::readGenericBitmap()   located in JBIG2Stream.cc, can be triggered by sending a crafted pdf file to (for example) the pdfseparate   binary. It allows an attacker to cause Denial of Service (Segmentation fault) or possibly have unspecified   other impact. This is related to JArithmeticDecoder::decodeBit. (CVE-2019-9543)

  - PDFDoc::markObject in PDFDoc.cc in Poppler 0.74.0 mishandles dict marking, leading to stack consumption in   the function Dict::find() located at Dict.cc, which can (for example) be triggered by passing a crafted pdf   file to the pdfunite binary. (CVE-2019-9903)

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