CVE-2019-9589

Published: 6 March 2019

There is a NULL pointer dereference vulnerability in PSOutputDev::setupResources() located in PSOutputDev.cc in Xpdf 4.01. It can be triggered by sending a crafted pdf file to (for example) the pdftops binary. It allows an attacker to cause Denial of Service (Segmentation fault) or possibly have unspecified other impact.

Notes

AuthorNote
jdstrand
xpdf in koffice is 2.0
mdeslaur
can't reproduce with poppler, no indication it is affected
code is different in texlive-bin, doesn't look vulnerable
ebarretto
since 0.5.12-1 libextractor does not use xpdf anymore.
xpdf in Debian uses poppler, which doesn't contain the
vulnerable code
