Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 3 vulnerabilities.
1) Security bypass
EUVDB-ID: #VU1335
Risk: Low
CVSSv3.1: 4.1 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N/E:H/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2008-0655
CWE-ID:
CWE-399 - Resource Management Errors
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions on the target system.
The weakness exists due to an error in JavaScript API DOC.print function. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted PDF file, persuade a victim to open it and configure silent unauthorized printing of 1000 copies from a PDF file.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability results in unauthorized access to the vulnerable system.
Update the affected packages.
