| Vector | AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
xpdf versions prior to 3.02pl5
poppler versions prior to 0.15.1
kdegraphics version 3.3.1
Description
The issue is related to a lack of input validation in the PDF parser, which allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted PostScript Type1 font. This can lead to memory corruption. The vulnerability can be exploited remotely, potentially allowing attackers to access confidential data, disrupt its integrity, and cause a denial of service.
Recommendations
For xpdf versions prior to 3.02pl5, update to version 3.02pl5 or later.
For poppler versions prior to 0.15.1, update to version 0.15.1 or later.
For kdegraphics version 3.3.1, consider disabling the
Gfx::getPos function or restricting access to the PDF parser until a patch is available.Fix
