Red Hat Product Errata RHSA-2009:0480 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE Important: poppler security update 2009-05-13 14:32:34 UTC

Description Josh Bressers 2009-04-15 14:22:13 UTC 
An integer overflow was found in poppler's CairoOutputDev::drawImage
method. A malicious PDF file could cause poppler to execute with
permissions of the user calling the library.

Will Dormann of the CERT/CC created the extensive testsuite for the JBIG2
decoder in various PDF libraries that found this flaw.

Acknowledgements:

Red Hat would like to thank Will Dormann of the CERT/CC for responsibly reporting this flaw.

CVE-2009-1187:
Integer overflow in the JBIG2 decoding feature in Poppler before
0.10.6 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash)
and possibly execute arbitrary code via vectors related to
CairoOutputDev (CairoOutputDev.cc).
