The remote Ubuntu 16.04 ESM / 18.04 ESM / 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-6508-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that poppler incorrectly handled certain malformed PDF files. If a user or an automated     system were tricked into opening a specially crafted PDF file, a remote attacker could possibly use this     issue to cause a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and Ubuntu     20.04 LTS. (CVE-2020-23804)

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.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 9 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - poppler: reachable assertion due to a failure in markObject() (CVE-2022-37052)

  - In Poppler 22.07.0, PDFDoc::savePageAs in PDFDoc.c callows attackers to cause a denial-of-service     (application crashes with SIGABRT) by crafting a PDF file in which the xref data structure is mishandled     in getCatalog processing. Note that this vulnerability is caused by the incomplete patch of     CVE-2018-20662. (CVE-2022-37050)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package is installed.

The remote openSUSE 15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2023:4270-1 advisory.

  - 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)

  - 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)

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

The remote SUSE Linux SLED15 / SLED_SAP15 / SLES15 / SLES_SAP15 / openSUSE 15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2023:4562-1 advisory.

  - 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)

  - 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)

(CVE-2019-13287)

  - 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)
