URL: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2009-0756
Assigned: 20090303

Reference: MLIST:[oss-security] 20090219 Re: CVE Request: Poppler -Two Denial of Service Vulnerabilities
Reference: URL: http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2009/02/19/2
Reference: MLIST:[poppler] 20090123 poppler/JBIG2Stream.cc
Reference: URL: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/poppler/2009-January/004403.html
Reference: CONFIRM: http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19702
Reference: SECUNIA:33853
Reference: URL: http://secunia.com/advisories/33853

The JBIG2Stream::readSymbolDictSeg function in Poppler before 0.10.4
allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a PDF
file that triggers a parsing error, which is not properly handled by
JBIG2SymbolDict::~JBIG2SymbolDict and triggers an invalid memory
dereference.

Comment 1 Tomas Hoger 2009-07-15 10:44:48 UTC

This is basically a duplicate of CVE-2009-0166.  Original upstream fix:

http://cgit.freedesktop.org/poppler/poppler/commit/?id=d3f04f537fb3e963c149a7e2d8d83c7cb19da8c0

was turned into even more strict one in the last set of security fixes for JBIG2 decoded used by poppler/xpdf:

http://cgit.freedesktop.org/poppler/poppler/commit/?h=poppler-0.10&id=763bfd27a50a9f8176fe112823839549e4498a39
