Vulnerabilities

A heap-use-after free in the PdfTokenizer::ReadDictionary function of podofo v0.10.0 to v0.10.5 allows attackers to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) by supplying a crafted PDF file. NOTE: this is disputed by the Supplier because there is no available file to reproduce the issue.

A flaw has been found in PoDoFo 1.1.0-dev. This issue affects the function PdfTokenizer::DetermineDataType of the file src/podofo/main/PdfTokenizer.cpp of the component PDF Dictionary Parser. Executing manipulation can lead to use after free. It is possible to launch the attack on the local host. The exploit has been published and may be used. This patch is called 22d16cb142f293bf956f66a4d399cdd65576d36c. A patch should be applied to remediate this issue.

Podofo v0.10.0 was discovered to contain a heap buffer overflow via the component PoDoFo::PdfEncryptRC4::PdfEncryptRC4.

A vulnerability, which was classified as critical, was found in PoDoFo 0.10.0. Affected is the function readXRefStreamEntry of the file PdfXRefStreamParserObject.cpp. The manipulation leads to heap-based buffer overflow. An attack has to be approached locally. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. The patch is identified as 535a786f124b739e3c857529cecc29e4eeb79778. It is recommended to apply a patch to fix this issue. VDB-227226 is the identifier assigned to this vulnerability.

Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor in PoDoFo v0.9.6 allows attackers to obtain sensitive information via 'IsNextToken' in the component 'src/base/PdfToenizer.cpp'.

A flaw was found in PoDoFo 0.9.7. A stack-based buffer overflow in PdfEncryptMD5Base::ComputeOwnerKey function in PdfEncrypt.cpp is possible because of a improper check of the keyLength value.

The PoDoFo::PdfVariant::DelayedLoad function in PdfVariant.h in PoDoFo 0.9.6 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference) via a crafted file, because of ImageExtractor.cpp.

An issue was discovered in PoDoFo 0.9.6. The PdfPagesTreeCache class in doc/PdfPagesTreeCache.cpp has an attempted excessive memory allocation because nInitialSize is not validated.

PoDoFo 0.9.6 has a heap-based buffer overflow in PdfString::ConvertUTF16toUTF8 in base/PdfString.cpp.

An issue was discovered in PoDoFo 0.9.6. There is an attempted excessive memory allocation in PoDoFo::podofo_calloc in base/PdfMemoryManagement.cpp when called from PoDoFo::PdfPredictorDecoder::PdfPredictorDecoder in base/PdfFiltersPrivate.cpp.

PoDoFo::Impose::PdfTranslator::setSource() in pdftranslator.cpp in PoDoFo 0.9.6 has a NULL pointer dereference that can (for example) be triggered by sending a crafted PDF file to the podofoimpose binary. It allows an attacker to cause Denial of Service (Segmentation fault) or possibly have unspecified other impact.

An issue was discovered in crop_page in PoDoFo 0.9.6. For a crafted PDF document, pPage->GetObject()->GetDictionary().AddKey(PdfName("MediaBox"),var) can be problematic due to the function GetObject() being called for the pPage NULL pointer object. The value of pPage at this point is 0x0, which causes a NULL pointer dereference.

A NULL pointer dereference vulnerability exists in the function PdfTranslator::setTarget() in pdftranslator.cpp of PoDoFo 0.9.6, while creating the PdfXObject, as demonstrated by podofoimpose. It allows an attacker to cause Denial of Service.

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to disclose sensitive information on vulnerable installations of PoDoFo. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file. The specific flaw exists within PdfEncoding::ParseToUnicode. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data, which can result in a memory corruption condition. An attacker can leverage this in conjunction with other vulnerabilities to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current process. Was ZDI-CAN-5673.

A stack-based buffer over-read in the PdfEncryptMD5Base::ComputeEncryptionKey() function in PdfEncrypt.cpp in PoDoFo 0.9.6-rc1 could be leveraged by remote attackers to cause a denial-of-service via a crafted pdf file.

An issue was discovered in PoDoFo 0.9.5. The function PdfDocument::Append() in PdfDocument.cpp in PoDoFo 0.9.5 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and application crash) via a crafted PDF document.

In PoDoFo 0.9.5, there exists an infinite loop vulnerability in PdfParserObject::ParseFileComplete() in PdfParserObject.cpp which may result in stack overflow. Remote attackers could leverage this vulnerability to cause a denial-of-service or possibly unspecified other impact via a crafted pdf file.

In PoDoFo 0.9.5, there is an Excessive Iteration in the PdfParser::ReadObjectsInternal function of base/PdfParser.cpp. Remote attackers could leverage this vulnerability to cause a denial of service through a crafted pdf file.

In PoDoFo 0.9.5, there is an uncontrolled memory allocation in the PoDoFo::PdfVecObjects::Reserve function (base/PdfVecObjects.h). Remote attackers could leverage this vulnerability to cause a denial of service via a crafted pdf file.

PoDoFo 0.9.5 does not properly validate memcpy arguments in the PdfMemoryOutputStream::Write function (base/PdfOutputStream.cpp). Remote attackers could leverage this vulnerability to cause a denial-of-service or possibly unspecified other impact via a crafted pdf file.

In PoDoFo 0.9.5, there is an uncontrolled memory allocation in the PdfParser::ReadXRefSubsection function (base/PdfParser.cpp). Remote attackers could leverage this vulnerability to cause a denial-of-service via a crafted pdf file.

The PoDoFo::PdfXRefStreamParserObject::ReadXRefStreamEntry function in base/PdfXRefStreamParserObject.cpp:224 in PoDoFo 0.9.5 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer over-read) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted PDF file.

Heap-based buffer overflow in the PdfParser::ReadObjects function in base/PdfParser.cpp in PoDoFo 0.9.5 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via vectors related to m_offsets.size.

The function PdfPagesTree::GetPageNodeFromArray in PdfPageTree.cpp:464 in PoDoFo 0.9.5 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite recursion and application crash) via a crafted PDF document.

The function TextExtractor::ExtractText in TextExtractor.cpp:77 in PoDoFo 0.9.5 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and application crash) via a crafted PDF document.

The doc/PdfPage.cpp:614:20 code in PoDoFo 0.9.5 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and application crash) via a crafted PDF document.

The PoDoFo::PdfColorGray::~PdfColorGray function in PdfColor.cpp in PoDoFo 0.9.4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference) via a crafted file.
