The remote Ubuntu 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-4646-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that Poppler incorrectly handled certain files. If a user or automated system were     tricked into opening a crafted PDF file, an attacker could cause 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.

The remote SUSE Linux SLES12 / SLES_SAP12 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2023:0496-1 advisory.

  - In Xpdf 4.01.01, a heap-based buffer over-read could be triggered in strncpy from FoFiType1::parse in     fofi/FoFiType1.cc because it does not ensure the source string has a valid length before making a fixed-     length copy. It can, for example, be triggered by sending a crafted PDF document to the pdftotext tool. It     allows an attacker to use a crafted pdf file to cause Denial of Service or an information leak, or     possibly have unspecified other impact. (CVE-2019-13283)

The remote SUSE Linux SLES12 / SLES_SAP12 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2023:0494-1 advisory.

  - Poppler prior to and including 22.08.0 contains an integer overflow in the JBIG2 decoder     (JBIG2Stream::readTextRegionSeg() in JBIGStream.cc). Processing a specially crafted PDF file or JBIG2     image could lead to a crash or the execution of arbitrary code. This is similar to the vulnerability     described by CVE-2022-38171 in Xpdf. (CVE-2022-38784)

The remote SUSE Linux SLES15 / SLES_SAP15 / openSUSE 15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2023:0480-1 advisory.

xpdf 4.02. Lots of security fixes here.
