Description GLSAMaker/CVETool Bot gentoo-dev 2019-05-01 00:35:10 UTC
CVE-2019-9878 (https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2019-9878):
  There is an invalid memory access in the function
  GfxIndexedColorSpace::mapColorToBase() located in GfxState.cc in Xpdf 4.0.0,
  as used in pdfalto 0.2. It can be triggered by (for example) sending a
  crafted pdf file to the pdftops binary. It allows an attacker to cause
  Denial of Service (Segmentation fault) or possibly have unspecified other
  impact.

CVE-2019-9877 (https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2019-9877):
  There is an invalid memory access vulnerability in the function
  TextPage::findGaps() located at TextOutputDev.c in Xpdf 4.01, which can (for
  example) be triggered by sending a crafted pdf file to the pdftops binary.
  It allows an attacker to cause Denial of Service (Segmentation fault) or
  possibly have unspecified other impact.

Hi,

judging from the changelog and thesource diff these bugs are fixed in xpdf-4.02 which is now in the tree.
Comment 2 Thomas Deutschmann (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2020-03-02 16:17:28 UTC
Can't find any source stating that CVE-2019-9878 was fixed. Only CVE-2019-9877 is listed on https://www.xpdfreader.com/security-fixes.html.

There was a significant GfxState.cc rewrite between 4.00 and 4.02. It is unclear whether it fixes bug or not since this bug manifests itself only in third-party project based on xpdf.

I tested xpdf-4.02 and all its utils with provided proof-of-concept file:
https://github.com/SegfaultMasters/covering360/blob/master/pdfalto/NP_01_POC?raw=true

All of them complain a lot about broken file, but work fine otherwise without crashes.

I'm not sure this CVE was originally correct since bug occurs in third party project using xpdf code in unsupported way (xpdf is not a library).

So are you saying it is fixed in 4.02-r2?
Comment 6 Andrew Savchenko gentoo-dev 2020-04-05 08:28:46 UTC
I'm saying that:

1) I'm not sure if this CVE is valid for the xpdf upstream in the first place.
2) Even if it is, it may be fixed already.

I asked upstream for clarification:

Upstream says that CVE-2019-9878 is a duplicate of CVE-2018-18455, which was fixed in Xpdf 4.01:

Comment 12 Sam James archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2020-04-21 23:28:59 UTC
@maintainer: no further action needed, thank you.

Let's call this fixed in 4.0.2. There are *far* too many CVEs here, some with duplicate fixes, and so on. Not all have been referenced in changelogs either.

It looks like we're done as of the latest version.
