- CVEs with nessus.description==A buffer overflow has been found in the xpdf viewer. An insufficient input validation of the encryption key length could be exploited by an attacker providing a specially crafted PDF file which, when processed by xpdf, could result in abnormal program termination or the execution of attacker supplied program code with the user's privileges.
The Common UNIX Printing System (CUPS) uses the same code to print PDF files. In this case, this bug could be exploited to gain the privileges of the CUPS print server (by default, user cupsys).
Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
