CVE-2017-7515

poppler through version 0.55.0 is vulnerable to an uncontrolled recursion in pdfunite resulting into potential denial-of-service.

Jiaqi Peng discovered that the poppler pdfunite tool incorrectly parsed certain malformed PDF documents. If a user or automated system were tricked into opening a crafted PDF file, an attacker could cause poppler to crash, resulting in a denial of service (CVE-2017-7511).

It was discovered that the poppler pdfunite tool incorrectly parsed certain malformed PDF documents. If a user or automated system were tricked into opening a crafted PDF file, an attacker could cause poppler to hang, resulting in a denial of service (CVE-2017-7515).

It was discovered that poppler incorrectly handled memory when processing PDF documents. If a user or automated system were tricked into opening a crafted PDF file, an attacker could cause poppler to consume resources, resulting in a denial of service (CVE-2017-9406, CVE-2017-9408).

Alberto Garcia, Francisco Oca, and Suleman Ali discovered that the poppler pdftocairo tool incorrectly parsed certain malformed PDF documents. If a user or automated system were tricked into opening a crafted PDF file, an attacker could cause poppler to crash, resulting in a denial of service (CVE-2017-9775).

Integer overflow leading to Heap buffer overflow in JBIG2Stream.cc in pdftocairo in Poppler allows attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted PDF document (CVE-2017-9776).

The function GfxImageColorMap::getGray in GfxState.cc in Poppler allows attackers to cause a denial of service (stack-based buffer over-read and application crash) via a crafted PDF document, related to missing color-map validation in ImageOutputDev.cc (CVE-2017-9865).

These are all security issues fixed in the libpoppler-cpp0-21.08.0-1.3 package on the GA media of openSUSE Tumbleweed.

This update for poppler fixes the following issues:

Security issues fixed:

• CVE-2017-9775: DoS stack buffer overflow in GfxState.cc in pdftocairo via a crafted PDF document (bsc#1045719)
• CVE-2017-9776: DoS integer overflow leading to heap buffer overflow in JBIG2Stream.cc via a crafted PDF document (bsc#1045721)
• CVE-2017-7515: Stack exhaustion due to infinite recursive call in pdfunite (bsc#1043088)
• CVE-2017-7511: Null pointer dereference in pdfunite via crafted documents (bsc#1041783)
• CVE-2017-9406: Memory leak in the gmalloc function in gmem.cc (bsc#1042803)
• CVE-2017-9408: Memory leak in the Object::initArray function (bsc#1042802)
