Ubuntu Security Notice 850-2 - USN-850-1 fixed vulnerabilities in poppler. The security fix for CVE-2009-3605 introduced a regression that would cause certain applications, such as Okular, to segfault when opening certain PDF files. This update fixes the problem. It was discovered that poppler contained multiple security issues when parsing malformed PDF documents. If a user or automated system were tricked into opening a crafted PDF file, an attacker could cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code with privileges of the user invoking the program.

The Mandos system allows computers to have encrypted root file systems and at the same time be capable of remote or unattended reboots. The computers run a small client program in the initial RAM disk environment which will communicate with a server over a network. All network communication is encrypted using TLS. The clients are identified by the server using an OpenPGP key that is unique to each client. The server sends the clients an encrypted password. The encrypted password is decrypted by the clients using the same OpenPGP key, and the password is then used to unlock the root file system.

Both the Poppler and Xpdf projects are vulnerable to an integer overflow during heap memory allocation when processing a PDF file. In general, this results in unexpected process termination. If an application using this code is multi-threaded (or uses a crash signal handler), it may be possible to execute arbitrary code. Poppler versions below 0.12.1 are affected. Xpdf versions below 3.02p14 are affected.
