Title: Poppler Multiple Denial of Service Vulnerabilities
Severity: MODERATE
Description:
Poppler is a library that provides a programming interface for rendering PDF files. The library is based on the Xpdf-3.0 codebase.
Poppler is prone to multiple denial-of-service vulnerabilities when handling certain PDF files. The issues stem from an uninitialized memory access error in the 'FormWidgetChoice::loadDefaults()' function and an error in the 'JBIG2Stream::readSymbolDictSeg()' function.
Successfully exploiting this issue allows remote attackers to crash applications that use the vulnerable library, denying service to legitimate users.
These issues affect versions prior to Poppler 0.10.4.
Affected Products:
- MandrakeSoft Corporate Server 4.0
- MandrakeSoft Corporate Server 4.0.0 x86_64
- MandrakeSoft Linux Mandrake 2008.0
