Security Bulletin

This security bulletin contains information about 4 vulnerabilities.

1) Uncontrolled recursion

EUVDB-ID: #VU7489

Risk: Low

CVSSv4.0: 1 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]

CVE-ID: CVE-2017-7515

CWE-ID: CWE-674 - Uncontrolled Recursion

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.

The weakness exists due to uncontrolled recursion in pdfunite when handling malicious content. A remote attacker can send specially crafted PDF file, trick the victim into opening it and cause the application to crash.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability results in denial of service.

Mitigation

Install updates from vendor's repository.

Vulnerable software versions

Fedora: 26

mingw-poppler: before 0.52.0-3.fc26

CPE2.3 External links

https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2017-bbb664e0a0


Q & A

Can this vulnerability be exploited remotely?

Yes. This vulnerability can be exploited by a remote non-authenticated attacker via the Internet.

Is there known malware, which exploits this vulnerability?

No. We are not aware of malware exploiting this vulnerability.

2) Stack-based buffer overflow

EUVDB-ID: #VU7270

Risk: High

CVSSv4.0: 5.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Amber]

CVE-ID: CVE-2017-9775

CWE-ID: CWE-121 - Stack-based buffer overflow

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to boundary error when processing PDF files within GfxState.cc in pdftocairo in Poppler before 0.56. A remote unauthenticated attacker can create a specially crafted PDF file, trick the victim into opening it, 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.

Mitigation

Install updates from vendor's repository.

CVE-ID: CVE-2017-9776

CWE-ID: CWE-190 - Integer overflow

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to integer overflow when processing PDF files within JBIG2Stream.cc in pdftocairo in Poppler before 0.56. A remote unauthenticated attacker can create a specially crafted PDF file, trick the victim into opening it, trigger heap-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.

Mitigation

Install updates from vendor's repository.

4) Buffer over-read

EUVDB-ID: #VU9876

Risk: Low

CVSSv4.0: 4 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]

CVE-ID: CVE-2017-9865

CWE-ID: CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in The function GfxImageColorMap::getGray in GfxState.cc in Poppler 0.54.0. A remote attacker can perform a denial of service (stack-based buffer over-read and application crash) via a specially crafted PDF document, related to missing color-map validation in ImageOutputDev.cc.


Mitigation

Install updates from vendor's repository.
