CVE-2017-9083
Published: 19 May 2017
poppler 0.54.0, as used in Evince and other products, has a NULL pointer dereference in the JPXStream::readUByte function in JPXStream.cc. For example, the perf_test utility will crash (segmentation fault) when parsing an invalid PDF file.
Notes
| Author | Note |
|---|---|
| seth-arnold | I didn't inspect texlive-bin or luatex closely since I didn't spot a patch quickly |
| mdeslaur | while Debian uses openjpeg, Ubuntu uses the internal JPX decoder texlive-bin is built with --with-system-poppler and --with-system-xpdf, so embedded code copy isn't used. |
