Synopsis

The remote SUSE host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The remote SUSE Linux SLES12 / SLES_SAP12 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2023:4546-1 advisory.

- An issue was discovered in Xpdf 4.01.01. There is an out of bounds read in the function GfxPatchMeshShading::parse at GfxState.cc for typeA!=6 case 1. (CVE-2019-14292)

- An issue was discovered in Poppler 0.74.0. A recursive function call, in JBIG2Stream::readTextRegion() located in JBIG2Stream.cc, can be triggered by sending a crafted pdf file to (for example) the pdfimages binary. It allows an attacker to cause Denial of Service (Segmentation fault) or possibly have unspecified other impact. This is related to JBIG2Bitmap::clearToZero. (CVE-2019-9545)

- Poppler 0.74.0 has a heap-based buffer over-read in the CairoRescaleBox.cc downsample_row_box_filter function. (CVE-2019-9631)

- An issue was discovered in freedesktop poppler version 20.12.1, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (DoS) via crafted .pdf file to FoFiType1C::cvtGlyph function. (CVE-2020-36023)

- A reachable Object::getString assertion in Poppler 22.07.0 allows attackers to cause a denial of service due to a failure in markObject. (CVE-2022-37052)

- An infinite recursion in Catalog::findDestInTree can cause denial of service for xpdf 4.02.
(CVE-2022-48545)

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

Solution

Update the affected libpoppler44 package.
