CVE-2019-9959 Open this link in a new tabHow to fix?
Upgrade Centos:8 poppler to version 0:0.66.0-11.el8_0.12 or higher.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream poppler package and not the poppler package as distributed by Centos.
See How to fix? for Centos:8 relevant fixed versions and status.
The JPXStream::init function in Poppler 0.78.0 and earlier doesn't check for negative values of stream length, leading to an Integer Overflow, thereby making it possible to allocate a large memory chunk on the heap, with a size controlled by an attacker, as demonstrated by pdftocairo.
