Synopsis
The remote Amazon Linux 2 host is missing a security update.Description
The version of poppler installed on the remote host is prior to 0.26.5-43. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2-2023-2243 advisory.- Buffer Overflow vulnerability in HtmlOutputDev::page in poppler 0.75.0 allows attackers to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2020-18839)
- In Poppler 22.07.0, PDFDoc::savePageAs in PDFDoc.c callows attackers to cause a denial-of-service (application crashes with SIGABRT) by crafting a PDF file in which the xref data structure is mishandled in getCatalog processing. Note that this vulnerability is caused by the incomplete patch of CVE-2018-20662. (CVE-2022-37050)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
