CVE-2019-9959 Open this link in a new tabHow to fix?
Upgrade RHEL:8 poppler-qt5 to version 0:0.66.0-11.el8_0.12 or higher.
This issue was patched in RHSA-2019:2713.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream poppler-qt5 package and not the poppler-qt5 package as distributed by RHEL.
See How to fix? for RHEL: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.
