Description
This security bulletin contains information about 2 vulnerabilities.
1) Infinite loop (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-14929)
CWE-ID: CWE-835 - Loop with Unreachable Exit Condition ('Infinite Loop')
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.
The weakness exists due to infinite loop in a call to Object::dictLookup() in Object.h after a repeating series of Gfx::display, Gfx::go, Gfx::execOp, Gfx::opFill, Gfx::doPatternFill, Gfx::doTilingPatternFill and Gfx::drawForm calls. A remote attacker can trigger memory corruption and cause the service to crash.
2) Memory corruption (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-1000456)
CWE-ID: CWE-119 - Memory corruption
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.
The weakness exists due to improper validation of boundaries in TextPool::addWord in freedesktop.org libpoppler. A remote attacker can trigger overflow in subsequent calculations and cause the service to crash.
