Description

The JPXStream::init function in Poppler 0.78.0 and earlier doesn't check for negative values of stream length, leading to an Integer Overflow, thereby making it possible to allocate a large memory chunk on the heap, with a size controlled by an attacker, as demonstrated by pdftocairo.

• freedesktop poppler (<= 0.78.0) • debian debian linux 8.0 • debian debian linux 9.0 • debian debian linux 10.0 • fedoraproject fedora 29 • fedoraproject fedora 30 • redhat enterprise linux 8.0 • redhat enterprise linux eus 8.1 • redhat enterprise linux eus 8.2 • redhat enterprise linux eus 8.4 • redhat enterprise linux eus 8.6 • redhat enterprise linux server aus 8.2 • redhat enterprise linux server aus 8.4 • redhat enterprise linux server aus 8.6 • redhat enterprise linux server tus 8.2 • redhat enterprise linux server tus 8.4 • redhat enterprise linux server tus 8.6
