high Nessus Plugin ID 164813

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

The remote Debian 11 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dsa-5224 advisory.

Two vulnerabilities were discovered in poppler, a PDF rendering library, which could result in denial of service or the execution of arbitrary code if a malformed PDF file or JBIG2 image is processed. For the stable distribution (bullseye), these problems have been fixed in version 20.09.0-3.1+deb11u1. We recommend that you upgrade your poppler packages. For the detailed security status of poppler please refer to its security tracker page at: https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/poppler

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Debian security advisory.

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

Solution

Upgrade the poppler packages.

For the stable distribution (bullseye), these problems have been fixed in version 20.09.0-3.1+deb11u1.
