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)

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

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - 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 relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

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.

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)

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-2023:4363-1 advisory.

  - 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)

  - A vulnerability in Outline.cc for Poppler prior to 23.06.0 allows a remote attacker to cause a Denial of     Service (DoS) (crash) via a crafted PDF file in OutlineItem::open. (CVE-2023-34872)

  - CCITTFaxStream::readRow() in Stream.cc in Xpdf 4.00 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service     (heap-based buffer over-read) via a crafted pdf file, as demonstrated by pdftoppm. (CVE-2018-18454)

  - The function Object::isName() in Object.h (called from Gfx::opSetFillColorN) in Xpdf 4.00 allows remote     attackers to cause a denial of service (stack-based buffer over-read) via a crafted pdf file, as     demonstrated by pdftoppm. (CVE-2018-18456)

  - In Xpdf 4.01.01, there is an out-of-bounds read vulnerability in the function SplashXPath::strokeAdjust()     located at splash/SplashXPath.cc.
