These security issues were fixed : - CVE-2018-6187: Prevent heap-based buffer overflow in the do_pdf_save_document function. Remote attackers could leverage the vulnerability to cause a denial of service via a crafted pdf file (bsc#1077407). - CVE-2018-6544: pdf_load_obj_stm could have referenced the object stream recursively and therefore run out of error stack, which allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted PDF document (bsc#1079100). - CVE-2018-6192: The pdf_read_new_xref function allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service (segmentation violation and application crash) via a crafted pdf file (bsc#1077755). last seen 2020-06-05 modified 2018-02-09 plugin id 106704 published 2018-02-09 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2018-2020 Tenable Network Security, Inc. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/106704 title openSUSE Security Update : mupdf (openSUSE-2018-149)
