Description

This security bulletin contains information about 11 vulnerabilities.


1) NULL pointer derefenrece (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-14517)

CWE-ID: CWE-476 - NULL Pointer Dereference

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear


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

The vulnerability exists due to an error in  XRef::parseEntry() function in XRef.cc when processing PDF 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.

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to a floating point exception in the ImageStream class in Stream.cc. A remote attacker can supply specially crafted PDF files, bypass security restrictions and conduct further attacks.


5) NULL pointer derefenrece (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-14926)

CWE-ID: CWE-476 - NULL Pointer Dereference

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear


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

The vulnerability exists due to an error in AnnotRichMedia::Content::Content in Annot.cc when processing PDF 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.


6) NULL pointer derefenrece (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-14927)

CWE-ID: CWE-476 - NULL Pointer Dereference

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear


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