Security Bulletin

This security bulletin contains information about 5 vulnerabilities.

1) Infinite loop

EUVDB-ID: #VU12557

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-2018-5686

CWE-ID: CWE-835 - Loop with Unreachable Exit Condition ('Infinite Loop')

Exploit availability: No

Description

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

The weakness exists in the pdf_parse_array function in pdf/pdf-parse.c due to infinite loop because EOF is not considered. A remote attacker can trick the victim into opening a specially crafted pdf file and cause the service to crash.

Mitigation

Update the affected package libmupdf to version 1.13.0-1.

Vulnerable software versions

Arch Linux: All versions

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) Heap-based buffer overflow

EUVDB-ID: #VU12558

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-2018-6187

CWE-ID: CWE-122 - Heap-based Buffer Overflow

Exploit availability: No

Description

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

The weakness exists in the do_pdf_save_document function in the pdf/pdf-write.c file due to heap-based buffer overflow. A remote attacker can trick the victim into opening a specially crafted pdf file, trigger memory corruption and cause the service to crash.

Mitigation

Update the affected package libmupdf to version 1.13.0-1.

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-2018-6192

CWE-ID: CWE-119 - Memory corruption

Exploit availability: No

Description

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

The weakness exists the pdf_read_new_xref function in pdf/pdf-xref.c due to segmentation violation. A remote attacker can trick the victim into opening a specially crafted pdf file, trigger memory corruption and cause the service to crash.

Mitigation

Update the affected package libmupdf to version 1.13.0-1.

Risk: Low

CVSSv4.0: 2.7 [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]

CVE-ID: CVE-2018-6544

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

Exploit availability: No

Description

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

The weakness exists in th pdf_load_obj_stm in pdf/pdf-xref.c due to it can reference the object stream recursively and therefore run out of error stack. A remote attacker can submit a specially crafted PDF document cause the service to crash.

Mitigation

Update the affected package libmupdf to version 1.13.0-1.

Risk: High

CVSSv4.0: 8.1 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Amber]

CVE-ID: CVE-2018-1000051

CWE-ID: CWE-416 - Use After Free

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause DoS condition or execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The weakness exists in the fz_keep_key_storable due to use-after-free error. A remote attacker can submit a specially crafted PDF file, trigger memory corruption and cause the service to crash or execute arbitrary code.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may result in system compromise.

Mitigation

Update the affected package libmupdf to version 1.13.0-1.
