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.
