(Red Hat Issues Fix for gpdf) Xpdf JBIG2 Decoder Bugs Let Remote Users Deny Service
SecurityTracker Alert ID:  1022152
SecurityTracker URL:  http://securitytracker.com/id/1022152
CVE Reference:   CVE-2009-0799, CVE-2009-1181, CVE-2009-1183   (Links to External Site)
Date:  Apr 30 2009
Impact:   Denial of service via network
Fix Available:  Yes  Vendor Confirmed:  Yes  

Description:   Several vulnerabilities were reported in Xpdf. A remote user can cause denial of service conditions. gpdf is affected.

A remote user can create a specially crafted PDF file that, when processed by the target user or application, will trigger a flaw in the JBIG2 decoder and cause the application using xpdf to crash.

Will Dormann of the CERT/CC created the JBIG2 decoder testsuite that was used to discover these vulnerabilities.
Impact:   A remote user can cause the target application to crash.
Solution:   Red Hat has released a fix for gpdf, which is affected by these vulnerabilities.

The Red Hat advisory is available at:

https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2009-0458.html
Cause:   Access control error
Underlying OS:   Linux (Red Hat Enterprise)

or, potentially, execute arbitrary code when opened. (CVE-2009-0147,
CVE-2009-1179)

Multiple buffer overflow flaws were found in GPdf's JBIG2 decoder. An
attacker could create a malicious PDF file that would cause GPdf to crash
or, potentially, execute arbitrary code when opened. (CVE-2009-0146,
CVE-2009-1182)

Multiple flaws were found in GPdf's JBIG2 decoder that could lead to the
freeing of arbitrary memory. An attacker could create a malicious PDF file
that would cause GPdf to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code when
opened. (CVE-2009-0166, CVE-2009-1180)

Multiple input validation flaws were found in GPdf's JBIG2 decoder. An
attacker could create a malicious PDF file that would cause GPdf to crash
or, potentially, execute arbitrary code when opened. (CVE-2009-0800)

Multiple denial of service flaws were found in GPdf's JBIG2 decoder. An
attacker could create a malicious PDF that would cause GPdf to crash when
opened. (CVE-2009-0799, CVE-2009-1181, CVE-2009-1183)
