critical Nessus Plugin ID 38692

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.

Description

Several vulnerabilities have been identified in xpdf, a suite of tools for viewing and converting Portable Document Format (PDF) files.

The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems :

- CVE-2009-0146 Multiple buffer overflows in the JBIG2 decoder in Xpdf 3.02pl2 and earlier, CUPS 1.3.9 and earlier, and other products allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted PDF file, related to (1) JBIG2SymbolDict::setBitmap and (2) JBIG2Stream::readSymbolDictSeg.

- CVE-2009-0147 Multiple integer overflows in the JBIG2 decoder in Xpdf 3.02pl2 and earlier, CUPS 1.3.9 and earlier, and other products allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted PDF file, related to (1) JBIG2Stream::readSymbolDictSeg, (2) JBIG2Stream::readSymbolDictSeg, and (3) JBIG2Stream::readGenericBitmap.

- CVE-2009-0165 Integer overflow in the JBIG2 decoder in Xpdf 3.02pl2 and earlier, as used in Poppler and other products, when running on Mac OS X, has unspecified impact, related to 'g*allocn.'

- CVE-2009-0166 The JBIG2 decoder in Xpdf 3.02pl2 and earlier, CUPS 1.3.9 and earlier, and other products allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted PDF file that triggers a free of uninitialized memory.

- CVE-2009-0799 The JBIG2 decoder in Xpdf 3.02pl2 and earlier, CUPS 1.3.9 and earlier, Poppler before 0.10.6, and other products allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted PDF file that triggers an out-of-bounds read.

- CVE-2009-0800 Multiple 'input validation flaws' in the JBIG2 decoder in Xpdf 3.02pl2 and earlier, CUPS 1.3.9 and earlier, Poppler before 0.10.6, and other products allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted PDF file.

- CVE-2009-1179 Integer overflow in the JBIG2 decoder in Xpdf 3.02pl2 and earlier, CUPS 1.3.9 and earlier, Poppler before 0.10.6, and other products allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted PDF file.

- CVE-2009-1180 The JBIG2 decoder in Xpdf 3.02pl2 and earlier, CUPS 1.3.9 and earlier, Poppler before 0.10.6, and other products allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted PDF file that triggers a free of invalid data.

- CVE-2009-1181 The JBIG2 decoder in Xpdf 3.02pl2 and earlier, CUPS 1.3.9 and earlier, Poppler before 0.10.6, and other products allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted PDF file that triggers a NULL pointer dereference.

- CVE-2009-1182 Multiple buffer overflows in the JBIG2 MMR decoder in Xpdf 3.02pl2 and earlier, CUPS 1.3.9 and earlier, Poppler before 0.10.6, and other products allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted PDF file.

- CVE-2009-1183 The JBIG2 MMR decoder in Xpdf 3.02pl2 and earlier, CUPS 1.3.9 and earlier, Poppler before 0.10.6, and other products allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop and hang) via a crafted PDF file.

Solution

Upgrade the xpdf packages.

For the old stable distribution (etch), these problems have been fixed in version 3.01-9.1+etch6.

For the stable distribution (lenny), these problems have been fixed in version 3.02-1.4+lenny1.
