CVSS v3.1 |
| Unspecified vulnerability in certain versions of xpdf after 3.00, as used in various products including (a) pdfkit.framework, (b) gpdf, (c) pdftohtml, and (d) libextractor, has unknown impact and user-assisted attack vectors, possibly involving errors in (1) gmem.c, (2) SplashXPathScanner.cc, (3) JBIG2Stream.cc, (4) JPXStream.cc, and/or (5) Stream.cc. NOTE: this description is based on Debian advisory DSA 979, which is based on changes that were made after other vulnerabilities such as CVE-2006-0301 and CVE-2005-3624 through CVE-2005-3628 were fixed. Some of these newer fixes appear to be security-relevant, although it is not clear if they fix specific issues or are defensive in nature. |
| xpdf PDF viewer client earlier than 0.91 does not properly launch a web browser for embedded URL's, which allows an attacker to execute arbitrary commands via a URL that contains shell metacharacters. |
| xpdf PDF viewer client earlier than 0.91 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack. |
| Integer overflow in pdftops, as used in Xpdf 2.01 and earlier, xpdf-i, and CUPS before 1.1.18, allows local users to execute arbitrary code via a ColorSpace entry with a large number of elements, as demonstrated by cups-pdf. |
| Various PDF viewers including (1) Adobe Acrobat 5.06 and (2) Xpdf 1.01 allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in an embedded hyperlink. |
| Multiple integer overflows in xpdf 2.0 and 3.0, and other packages that use xpdf code such as CUPS, gpdf, and kdegraphics, allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code, a different set of vulnerabilities than those identified by CVE-2004-0889. |
| In Xpdf 4.05 (and earlier), a PDF object loop in a CMap, via the "UseCMap" entry, leads to infinite recursion and a stack overflow. |
| Out-of-bounds array write in Xpdf 4.05 and earlier, due to incorrect integer overflow checking in the PostScript function interpreter code. |
| Out-of-bounds array write in Xpdf 4.05 and earlier, triggered by an invalid VerticesPerRow value in a PDF shading dictionary. |
| Out-of-bounds array write in Xpdf 4.06 and earlier, due to incorrect validation of the "N" field in ICCBased color spaces. |
