Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as critical, was found in Poppler 0.53.0 (Document Reader Software). This affects an unknown code of the component JPEG 2000 Parser. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a integer overflow vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-190. The product performs a calculation that can produce an integer overflow or wraparound, when the logic assumes that the resulting value will always be larger than the original value. This can introduce other weaknesses when the calculation is used for resource management or execution control. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

An exploitable integer overflow vulnerability exists in the JPEG 2000 image parsing functionality of freedesktop.org Poppler 0.53.0. A specially crafted PDF file can lead to an integer overflow causing out of bounds memory overwrite on the heap resulting in potential arbitrary code execution. To trigger this vulnerability, a victim must open the malicious PDF in an application using this library.

The bug was discovered 07/07/2017. The weakness was published 07/12/2017 by Aleksandar Nikolic with Cisco Talos (Website). The advisory is shared at securityfocus.com. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2017-2820 since 12/01/2016. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. No form of authentication is needed for exploitation. It demands that the victim is doing some kind of user interaction. Neither technical details nor an exploit are publicly available.
