Description
This security bulletin contains information about 9 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-18454)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in CCITTFaxStream::readRow() in Stream.cc in Xpdf 4.00. A remote attacker can perform a denial of service (heap-based buffer over-read) via a crafted pdf file, as demonstrated by pdftoppm.
2) Stack-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-18456)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when processing a crafted pdf file, as demonstrated by pdftoppm. A remote unauthenticated attacker can trigger stack-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
3) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-13287)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition in the function SplashXPath::strokeAdjust() in splash/SplashXPath.cc. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted file, trick the victim into opening it, trigger out-of-bounds read error and read contents of memory on the system or crash the application.
4) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-14292)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform denial of service attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition within the GfxPatchMeshShading::parse function in GfxState.cc for typeA!=6 case 1. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted PDF file, trick the victim into opening it, trigger out-of-bounds read error and crash the application.
5) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-9545)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when processing PDF files within the JBIG2Stream::readTextRegion() function in JBIG2Stream.cc. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted PDF document, trick the victim into opening it, trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
6) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-9631)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to heap-based buffer over-read in the CairoRescaleBox.cc downsample_row_box_filter function. A remote attacker can perform a denial of service attack.
7) Infinite loop (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-36023)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to infinite loop within the FoFiType1C::cvtGlyph() function. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted PDF file to the server, consume all available system resources and cause denial of service conditions.
8) Reachable Assertion (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-37052)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a reachable assertion in Object::getString(). A remote attacker can trick the victim to open a specially crafted file and crash the application.
9) Infinite loop (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-48545)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to infinite loop within the Catalog::findDestInTree() function. A remote attacker can consume all available system resources and cause denial of service conditions.
