Uncontrolled Recursion in pdfinfo, and pdftops in poppler 0.89.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via crafted input.

The remote Ubuntu 16.04 ESM / 18.04 ESM / 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-6508-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that poppler incorrectly handled certain malformed PDF files. If a user or an automated     system were tricked into opening a specially crafted PDF file, a remote attacker could possibly use this     issue to cause a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and Ubuntu     20.04 LTS. (CVE-2020-23804)
