Poppler and Xpdf are vulnerable to an integer overflow in the StreamPredictor::StreamPredictor function, and a stack overflow in the StreamPredictor::getNextLine function. The original vulnerability was discovered by Maurycy Prodeus. Note: Gentoo's version of Xpdf is patched to use the Poppler library, so the update to Poppler will also fix Xpdf.
Impact :
By enticing a user to view a specially crafted program with a Poppler-based PDF viewer such as Gentoo's Xpdf, Epdfview, or Evince, a remote attacker could cause an overflow, potentially resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application.
Workaround :
There is no known workaround at this time.
