Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing one or more security-related updates.

Description

The remote Debian 9 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dla-2765 advisory.

- Buffer overflow in the main function in jstest_main.c in Mujstest in Artifex Software, Inc. MuPDF before 1.10 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds write) via a crafted file.
(CVE-2016-10246)

- Buffer overflow in the my_getline function in jstest_main.c in Mujstest in Artifex Software, Inc. MuPDF before 1.10 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds write) via a crafted file.
(CVE-2016-10247)

- Stack-based buffer overflow in jstest_main.c in mujstest in Artifex Software, Inc. MuPDF 1.10a allows remote attackers to have unspecified impact via a crafted image. (CVE-2017-6060)

- In MuPDF 1.12.0 and earlier, multiple memory leaks in the PDF parser allow an attacker to cause a denial of service (memory leak) via a crafted file. (CVE-2018-1000036)

- In MuPDF 1.13.0, there is an infinite loop in the fz_skip_space function of the pdf/pdf-xref.c file. A remote adversary could leverage this vulnerability to cause a denial of service via a crafted pdf file.
(CVE-2018-10289)

- Artifex MuPDF before 1.18.0 has a heap based buffer over-write in tiff_expand_colormap() function when parsing TIFF files allowing attackers to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2020-19609)

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

Solution

Upgrade the mupdf packages.

For Debian 9 stretch, these problems have been fixed in version 1.14.0+ds1-4+deb9u1.
