Description

This security bulletin contains information about 10 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) NULL pointer derefenrece (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-14975)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service (DoS) conditions.

The vulnerability exists due to an error in FoFiType1C::convertToType0 function in FoFiType1C.cc when processing documents. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted document, trigger NULL pointer dereference and perform a denial of service attack.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker to cause application crash.


2) NULL pointer derefenrece (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-14977)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service (DoS) conditions.

The vulnerability exists due to an error in FoFiTrueType::getCFFBlock function in FoFiTrueType.cc when processing documents. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted document, trigger NULL pointer dereference and perform a denial of service attack.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker to cause application crash.


3) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-14976)

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

The vulnerability exists due to boundary error in FoFiType1C::convertToType0 function in FoFiType1C.cc when processing fonts in documents. A remote unauthenticated attacker can create a specially crafted document and trigger application crash.


4) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-11116)

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

The vulnerability exists due to boundary error in ExifImageFile::readDQT function in ExifImageFileRead.cpp when processing PDF documents. A remote unauthenticated attacker can create a specially crafted document and trigger application crash.


5) Infinite loop (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-14519)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service (DoS) conditions.

The vulnerability exists due to an error in  Object::streamGetChar in Object.h after a repeating series of Gfx::display, Gfx::go, Gfx::execOp, Gfx::opShowText, and Gfx::doShowText calls when processing PDF documents. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted document, trigger infinite loop and perform a denial of service attack.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker to cause application crash.
