The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201310-03 (Poppler: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Poppler. Please review       the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.
  Impact :

    A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted PDF       file, possibly resulting in execution of arbitrary code with the       privileges of the process or a Denial of Service condition.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

Will Dormann, Alin Rad Pop, Braden Thomas, and Drew Yao discovered that poppler contained multiple security issues in its JBIG2 decoder.
If a user or automated system were tricked into opening a crafted PDF file, an attacker could cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code with privileges of the user invoking the program.

An out-of-bounds reading flaw in the JBIG2 decoder allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted PDF file (CVE-2009-0799).

Multiple input validation flaws in the JBIG2 decoder allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted PDF file (CVE-2009-0800).

An integer overflow in the JBIG2 decoder allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted PDF file (CVE-2009-1179).

A free of invalid data flaw in the JBIG2 decoder allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted PDF (CVE-2009-1180).

A NULL pointer dereference flaw in the JBIG2 decoder allows remote attackers to cause denial of service (crash) via a crafted PDF file (CVE-2009-1181).

Multiple buffer overflows in the JBIG2 MMR decoder allows remote attackers to cause denial of service or to execute arbitrary code via a crafted PDF file (CVE-2009-1182, CVE-2009-1183).

An integer overflow in the JBIG2 decoding feature allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via vectors related to CairoOutputDev (CVE-2009-1187).

An integer overflow in the JBIG2 decoding feature allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted PDF document (CVE-2009-1188).

Integer overflow in the SplashBitmap::SplashBitmap function in Xpdf 3.x before 3.02pl4 and Poppler before 0.12.1 might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted PDF document that triggers a heap-based buffer overflow. NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third-party information. NOTE: this issue reportedly exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2009-1188 (CVE-2009-3603).

The Splash::drawImage function in Splash.cc in Xpdf 2.x and 3.x before 3.02pl4, and Poppler 0.x, as used in GPdf and kdegraphics KPDF, does not properly allocate memory, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted PDF document that triggers a NULL pointer dereference or a heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-2009-3604).

Multiple integer overflows allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted PDF file, related to (1) glib/poppler-page.cc; (2) ArthurOutputDev.cc, (3) CairoOutputDev.cc, (4) GfxState.cc, (5) JBIG2Stream.cc, (6) PSOutputDev.cc, and (7) SplashOutputDev.cc in poppler/; and (8) SplashBitmap.cc, (9) Splash.cc, and (10) SplashFTFont.cc in splash/. NOTE: this may overlap CVE-2009-0791 (CVE-2009-3605).

Integer overflow in the PSOutputDev::doImageL1Sep function in Xpdf before 3.02pl4, and Poppler 0.x, as used in kdegraphics KPDF, might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted PDF document that triggers a heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-2009-3606).

Integer overflow in the create_surface_from_thumbnail_data function in glib/poppler-page.cc allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted PDF document that triggers a heap-based buffer overflow. NOTE:
some of these details are obtained from third-party information (CVE-2009-3607).

Integer overflow in the ObjectStream::ObjectStream function in XRef.cc in Xpdf 3.x before 3.02pl4 and Poppler before 0.12.1, as used in GPdf, kdegraphics KPDF, CUPS pdftops, and teTeX, might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted PDF document that triggers a heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-2009-3608).

Integer overflow in the ImageStream::ImageStream function in Stream.cc in Xpdf before 3.02pl4 and Poppler before 0.12.1, as used in GPdf, kdegraphics KPDF, and CUPS pdftops, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted PDF document that triggers a NULL pointer dereference or buffer over-read (CVE-2009-3609).

Buffer overflow in the ABWOutputDev::endWord function in poppler/ABWOutputDev.cc as used by the Abiword pdftoabw utility, allows user-assisted remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted PDF file (CVE-2009-3938). This update provides fixes for that vulnerabilities.

An update to address jbig2-related security issues.
