Poppler <= 0.74.0 Multiple Vulnerabilities

high Nessus Plugin ID 123511

Synopsis

A package installed on the remote host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of Poppler installed on the remote host is prior or equal to 0.74.0. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :

- Multiple input-validation flaws exist that allow heap buffer overflows leading to application crashes and other unspecified impact. (CVE-2019-7310, CVE-2019-9200, CVE-2019-10871, CVE-2019-10872)

- A flaw exists related to the function 'SplashClip::clipAALine' at 'splash/SplashClip.cc' that allows a NULL pointer dereference leading to application crashes and other unspecified impact.
(CVE-2019-10873)

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

Solution

Upgrade to a patched version of Poppler once it is available.
