3. Description:
Xpdf is an X Window System based viewer for Portable Document Format (PDF)
files.
Multiple integer overflow flaws were found in Xpdf's JBIG2 decoder. An
attacker could create a malicious PDF file that would cause Xpdf to crash
or, potentially, execute arbitrary code when opened. (CVE-2009-0147,
CVE-2009-1179)
Multiple buffer overflow flaws were found in Xpdf's JBIG2 decoder. An
attacker could create a malicious PDF file that would cause Xpdf to crash
or, potentially, execute arbitrary code when opened. (CVE-2009-0146,
CVE-2009-1182)
Multiple flaws were found in Xpdf's JBIG2 decoder that could lead to the
freeing of arbitrary memory. An attacker could create a malicious PDF file
that would cause Xpdf to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code when
opened. (CVE-2009-0166, CVE-2009-1180)
Multiple input validation flaws were found in Xpdf's JBIG2 decoder. An
attacker could create a malicious PDF file that would cause Xpdf to crash
or, potentially, execute arbitrary code when opened. (CVE-2009-0800)
Multiple denial of service flaws were found in Xpdf's JBIG2 decoder. An
attacker could create a malicious PDF that would cause Xpdf to crash when
opened. (CVE-2009-0799, CVE-2009-1181, CVE-2009-1183)
