medium Nessus Plugin ID 50583

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Mandriva Linux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

Multiple vulnerabilities were discovered and corrected in poppler :

The Gfx::getPos function in the PDF parser in poppler, allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via unknown vectors that trigger an uninitialized pointer dereference (CVE-2010-3702).

The PostScriptFunction::PostScriptFunction function in poppler/Function.cc in the PDF parser in poppler, allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a PDF file that triggers an uninitialized pointer dereference (CVE-2010-3703).

The FoFiType1::parse function in fofi/FoFiType1.cc in the PDF parser in poppler, allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a PDF file with a crafted Type1 font that contains a negative array index, which bypasses input validation and which triggers memory corruption (CVE-2010-3704).

The updated packages have been patched to correct these issues.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
