Patch name: 5e49250f13b0390edeb3f90eb4c02c9941f97067. Upgrading the affected component is advised.

A vulnerability was detected in Freedesktop Poppler 26.07.0. This issue affects the function SampledFunction::SampledFunction of the file poppler/Function.cc of the component SampledFunction. The manipulation of the argument BitsPerSample results in integer overflow. The attack may be performed from remote. The exploit is now public and may be used. The project was informed of the problem early through a bug report but has not responded yet.

An issue in the pdfseparate utility of freedesktop poppler v25.04.0 allows attackers to cause an infinite recursion via supplying a crafted PDF file. This can lead to a Denial of Service (DoS).

Poppler is a PDF rendering library. Versions prior to 25.06.0 use std::atomicint for reference counting. Because std::atomicint is only 32 bits, it is possible to overflow the reference count and trigger a use-after-free. Version 25.06.0 patches the issue.

A flaw was found in the Poppler's Pdfinfo utility. This issue occurs when using -dests parameter with pdfinfo utility. By using certain malformed input files, an attacker could cause the utility to crash, leading to a denial of service.

Xpdf prior to version 4.04 contains an integer overflow in the JBIG2 decoder (JBIG2Stream::readTextRegionSeg() in JBIG2Stream.cc). Processing a specially crafted PDF file or JBIG2 image could lead to a crash or the execution of arbitrary code. This is similar to the vulnerability described by CVE-2021-30860 (Apple CoreGraphics).

CoreGraphics. An integer overflow was addressed with improved input validation.

An issue was discovered in Poppler through 0.78.0. There is a divide-by-zero error in the function SplashOutputDev::tilingPatternFill at SplashOutputDev.cc.

An issue was discovered in Poppler 0.76.1. There is a heap-based buffer over-read in the function JPXStream::init in JPEG2000Stream.cc.

An issue was discovered in Poppler 0.74.0. There is a NULL pointer dereference in the function SplashClip::clipAALine at splash/SplashClip.cc.

An issue was discovered in Poppler 0.74.0. There is a heap-based buffer over-read in the function Splash::blitTransparent at splash/Splash.cc.

A heap-based buffer underwrite exists in ImageStream::getLine() located at Stream.cc in Poppler 0.74.0 that can (for example) be triggered by sending a crafted PDF file to the pdfimages binary. It allows an attacker to cause Denial of Service (Segmentation fault) or possibly have unspecified other impact.

In Poppler 0.73.0, a heap-based buffer over-read (due to an integer signedness error in the XRef::getEntry function in XRef.cc) allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted PDF document, as demonstrated by pdftocairo.

A flaw was found in Poppler 0.72.0. A reachable Object::dictLookup assertion in FileSpec class in FileSpec.cc file allows attackers to cause a denial of service due to the lack of a check for the dict data type.

A flaw was found in Poppler 0.72.0. A NULL pointer dereference in the XRef::getEntry class in XRef.cc file due to the mishandle of unallocated XRef entries. This allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted PDF document, when XRefEntry::setFlag in XRef.h is called from Parser::makeStream in Parser.cc.

An issue was discovered in Poppler 0.71.0. There is a reachable abort in Object.h, will lead to denial of service because EmbFile::save2 in FileSpec.cc lacks a stream check before saving an embedded file.

An issue was discovered in Poppler 0.71.0. There is a out-of-bounds read in EmbFile::save2 in FileSpec.cc, will lead to denial of service, as demonstrated by utils/pdfdetach.cc not validating embedded files before save attempts.

An issue was discovered in Poppler 0.71.0. There is a NULL pointer dereference in goo/GooString.h, will lead to denial of service, as demonstrated by utils/pdfdetach.cc not validating a filename of an embedded file before constructing a save path.

A flaw was found in Poppler 0.68.0, the Parser::getObj() function in Parser.cc may cause infinite recursion via a crafted file. A remote attacker can leverage this for a DoS attack.

An out-of-bounds read flaw was found in the Poppler library as demonstrated by pdfunite. This may result in a denial of service or other undefined behavior. This flaw may be exploitable when a victim opens a specially crafted PDF file.
