Ubuntu 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS / 24.04 LTS / 24.10 : poppler vulnerabilities (USN-7426-1)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 234054

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

The remote Ubuntu 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS / 24.04 LTS / 24.10 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-7426-1 advisory.

 It was discovered that poppler incorrectly handled memory when opening certain PDF files. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause poppler to crash, resulting in a denial of service.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu 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

Update the affected packages.
