Synopsis
The remote openSUSE host is missing a security update.
Description
This version update for qpdf to 7.1.1 fixes the following issues :
- Update to version 7.1.1
- Fix one linearization bug affecting files whose first /ID component is not 16 bytes long
- Update to version 7.1.0
- Allow raw encryption key to be specified in libary and command line with the QPDF::setPasswordIsHexKey method and
--password-is-hex-key option. Allow encryption key to be displayed with --show-encryption-key option. See https://blog.didierstevens.com/2017/12/28/cracking-encry pted-pdfs-part-3/ for a discussion of using this for cracking encrypted PDFs. I hope that a future release of qpdf will include some additional recovery options that may also make use of this capability.
- Fix lexical error: the PDF specification allows floating point numbers to end with '.'
- Fix link order in the build to avoid conflicts when building from source while an older version of qpdf is installed
- Add support for TIFF predictor for LZW and Flate streams. Now
- Clarify documentation around options that control parsing but not output creation. Two options:
--suppress-recovery and
--ignore-xref-streams, were documented in the 'Advanced Transformation Options' section of the manual and --help output even though they are not related to output. These are now described in a separate section called 'Advanced Parsing Options.'
- Implement remaining PNG filters for decode. Prior versions could decode only the 'up' filter. Now all PNG filters (sub, up, average, Paeth, optimal) are supported for decoding. The implementation of the remaining PNG filters changed the interface to the private Pl_PNGFilter class, but this class's header file is not in the installation, and there is no public interface to the class. Within the library, the class is never allocated on the stack; it is only ever dynamically allocated. As such, this does not actually break binary compatibility of the library. all predictor functions are supported
- Update to version 7.0.0
- License is now Apache-2.0
- Add new libjpeg8-devel dependency
- Improve the error message that is issued when QPDFWriter encounters a stream that can't be decoded. In particular, mention that the stream will be copied without filtering to avoid data loss.
- Add new methods to the C API to correspond to new additions to QPDFWriter :
	- qpdf_set_compress_streams
	- qpdf_set_decode_level
	- qpdf_set_preserve_unreferenced_objects
	- qpdf_set_newline_before_endstream
- Add support for writing PCLm files
- QPDF now supports reading and writing streams encoded with JPEG or RunLength encoding. Library API enhancements and command-line options have been added to control this behavior. See command-line options
--compress-streams and --decode-level and methods QPDFWriter::setCompressStreams and QPDFWriter::setDecodeLevel.
- Page rotation is now supported and accessible from both the library and the command line.
- Fixes CVE-2017-12595 boo#1055960, CVE-2017-9208 boo#1040311 CVE-2017-9209 boo#1040312, CVE-2017-9210 boo#1040313, CVE-2017-11627 boo#1050577, CVE-2017-11626 boo#1050578, CVE-2017-11625 boo#1050579, CVE-2017-11624 boo#1050581
- Update to version 6.0.0
- Bump shared library version since 5.2.0 broke ABI.
- Update to version 5.2.0
- Support for deterministic /IDs for non-encrypted files.
This is off by default.
- Handle more invalid xref tables
Solution
Update the affected qpdf packages.
