Solution Type: Sun Alert
Solution  269008 :   Multiple Security Vulnerabilities in the JBIG2
Decoder in the OpenSolaris GNOME PDF Viewer may Lead to Execution of
Arbitrary Code          
Bug ID: 6827182

Product:
OpenSolaris

Date of Resolved Release: 13-Oct-2009

SA Document Body

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:
CVE-2009-0165 at:
http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2009-0165
CVE-2009-0146 at:

CVE-2009-0147 at:
http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2009-0147
CVE-2009-0166 at:
http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2009-0166
CVE-2009-1187 at:

CVE-2009-1188 at:
http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2009-1188
Sun acknowledges with thanks, Braden Thomas and Drew Yao of Apple
Product Security for bringing the issues described in CVE-2009-0165,
CVE-2009-0146, CVE-2009-0147 and CVE-2009-0166 to our attention.

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
