Summary

Multiple heap-based buffer overflows in the (1) DCTStream::readProgressiveSOF and (2) DCTStream::readBaselineSOF functions in the DCT stream parsing code (Stream.cc) in xpdf 3.01 and earlier, as used in products such as (a) Poppler, (b) teTeX, (c) KDE kpdf, (d) pdftohtml, (e) KOffice KWord, (f) CUPS, and (g) libextractor allow user-assisted attackers to cause a denial of service (heap corruption) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted PDF file with an out-of-range number of components (numComps), which is used as an array index.

Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)

  • Buffer Overflow via Environment Variables
    This attack pattern involves causing a buffer overflow through manipulation of environment variables. Once the attacker finds that they can modify an environment variable, they may try to overflow associated buffers. This attack leverages implicit trust often placed in environment variables.
  • Overflow Buffers
    Buffer Overflow attacks target improper or missing bounds checking on buffer operations, typically triggered by input injected by an attacker. As a consequence, an attacker is able to write past the boundaries of allocated buffer regions in memory, causing a program crash or potentially redirection of execution as per the attackers' choice.
  • Client-side Injection-induced Buffer Overflow
    This type of attack exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in targeted client software through injection of malicious content from a custom-built hostile service.
  • Filter Failure through Buffer Overflow
    In this attack, the idea is to cause an active filter to fail by causing an oversized transaction. An attacker may try to feed overly long input strings to the program in an attempt to overwhelm the filter (by causing a buffer overflow) and hoping that the filter does not fail securely (i.e. the user input is let into the system unfiltered).
  • MIME Conversion
    An attacker exploits a weakness in the MIME conversion routine to cause a buffer overflow and gain control over the mail server machine. The MIME system is designed to allow various different information formats to be interpreted and sent via e-mail. Attack points exist when data are converted to MIME compatible format and back.

    descriptionAn updated gpdf package that fixes several security issues is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4. This update has been rated as having important security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team. The gpdf package is a GNOME based viewer for Portable Document Format (PDF) files. Several flaws were discovered in gpdf. An attacker could construct a carefully crafted PDF file that could cause gpdf to crash or possibly execute arbitrary code when opened. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project assigned the names CVE-2005-3191, CVE-2005-3192, and CVE-2005-3193 to these issues. Users of gpdf should upgrade to this updated package, which contains a backported patch to resolve these issues.

    descriptionMultiple heap-based buffer overflows in the DCTStream::readProgressiveSOF and DCTStream::readBaselineSOF functions in the DCT stream parsing code (Stream.cc) in xpdf 3.01 and earlier, allow user-complicit attackers to cause a denial of service (heap corruption) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted PDF file with an out-of-range number of components (numComps), which is used as an array index. (CVE-2005-3191) Heap-based buffer overflow in the StreamPredictor function in Xpdf 3.01 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a PDF file with an out-of-range numComps (number of components) field. (CVE-2005-3192) Heap-based buffer overflow in the JPXStream::readCodestream function in the JPX stream parsing code (JPXStream.c) for xpdf 3.01 and earlier allows user-complicit attackers to cause a denial of service (heap corruption) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted PDF file with large size values that cause insufficient memory to be allocated. (CVE-2005-3193) An additional patch re-addresses memory allocation routines in goo/gmem.c (Martin Pitt/Canonical, Dirk Mueller/KDE). In addition, Chris Evans discovered several other vulnerabilities in the xpdf code base : Out-of-bounds heap accesses with large or negative parameters to

    descriptionUpdated CUPS packages that fix multiple security issues are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux. This update has been rated as having important security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team. The Common UNIX Printing System (CUPS) provides a portable printing layer for UNIX(R) operating systems. Several flaws were discovered in the way CUPS processes PDF files. An attacker could construct a carefully crafted PDF file that could cause CUPS to crash or possibly execute arbitrary code when opened. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project assigned the names CVE-2005-3191, CVE-2005-3192, and CVE-2005-3193 to these issues. All users of CUPS should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported patches to resolve these issues.

    descriptionThe remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200601-02 (KPdf, KWord: Multiple overflows in included Xpdf code) KPdf and KWord both include Xpdf code to handle PDF files. This Xpdf code is vulnerable to several heap overflows (GLSA 200512-08) as well as several buffer and integer overflows discovered by Chris Evans (CESA-2005-003). Impact : An attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted PDF file with Kpdf or KWord, potentially resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the rights of the user running the affected application. Workaround : There is no known workaround at this time.
