Synopsis

The remote Amazon Linux 2023 host is missing a security update.

Description

It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2023-2023-371 advisory.

 2024-07-17: CVE-2022-27337 was added to this advisory.

 A logic error in the Hints::Hints function of Poppler v22.03.0 allows attackers to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) via a crafted PDF file. (CVE-2022-27337)

 A vulnerability in Outline.cc for Poppler prior to 23.06.0 allows a remote attacker to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) (crash) via a crafted PDF file in OutlineItem::open. (CVE-2023-34872)

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

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