Summary
poppler vulnerabilities
Details
Aleksandar Nikolic discovered that poppler incorrectly handled JPEG 2000 images. If a user or automated system were tricked into opening a crafted PDF file, an attacker could cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code with privileges of the user invoking the program. (CVE-2017-2820)
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 JPEG 2000 images. If a user or automated system were tricked into opening a crafted PDF file, an attacker could cause cause poppler to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2017-9083)
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)
