Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'poppler' package(s) announced via the DLA-1963-1 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
Two buffer allocation issues were identified in poppler.

CVE-2019-9959

An unexpected negative length value can cause an integer overflow, which in turn making it possible to allocate a large memory chunk on the heap with size controlled by an attacker.

CVE-2019-10871

The RGB data are considered CMYK data and hence it reads 4 bytes instead of 3 bytes at the end of the image. The fixed version defines SPLASH_CMYK which is the upstream recommended solution.

For Debian 8 Jessie, these problems have been fixed in version 0.26.5-2+deb8u12.

We recommend that you upgrade your poppler packages.
