Package        : poppler
Version        : 0.26.5-2+deb8u12
CVE ID         : CVE-2019-9959 CVE-2019-10871

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.
