Amazon Linux 2 Security Advisory: ALAS-2023-2075
Advisory Release Date: 2023-06-05 16:39 Pacific
Advisory Updated Date: 2023-06-07 22:38 Pacific
Severity: Medium
Issue Overview:

A logic error in the Hints::Hints function of Poppler v22.03.0 allows attackers to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) via a crafted PDF file. (CVE-2022-27337)

Poppler prior to and including 22.08.0 contains an integer overflow in the JBIG2 decoder (JBIG2Stream::readTextRegionSeg() in JBIGStream.cc). Processing a specially crafted PDF file or JBIG2 image could lead to a crash or the execution of arbitrary code. This is similar to the vulnerability described by CVE-2022-38171 in Xpdf. (CVE-2022-38784)
