Multiple security vulnerabilities in the JBIG2 decoding feature:

1. Impact

Multiple security vulnerabilities in the JBIG2 decoding feature in the Poppler PDF Rendering Library (libpoppler) may allow a local or remote unprivileged user to cause the OpenSolaris GNOME PDF Viewer (Evince) to crash and potentially execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application, when the user has loaded a specially crafted PDF file.

These issues are also referenced in the following documents:

2. Contributing Factors

These issues can occur in the following releases:

SPARC Platform

• OpenSolaris based upon builds snv_01 through snv_113

x86 Platform

• OpenSolaris based upon builds snv_01 through snv_113

Note 1: Solaris 8, 9, and 10 are not affected by this issue.

Note 2 :  OpenSolaris distributions may include additional bug fixes above and beyond the build from which it was derived.  To determine the base build of OpenSolaris, the following command can be used:

    $ uname -v
    snv_86

3. Symptoms

Should the described issues occur, evince(1) may crash and potentially create a core dump depending on the system configuration. There are no predictable symptoms to indicate that these issues have been exploited to execute arbitrary code.

4. Workaround

To workaround the described issues, do not load PDF files from untrusted sources.

5. Resolution

These issues are addressed in the following releases:

SPARC Platform

• OpenSolaris based upon builds snv_114 or later
  

x86 Platform

• OpenSolaris based upon builds snv_114 or later
