Dist Debian Esm H88
Two vulnerability concerns in the Poppler library addressed in the latest Debian LTS patch. Users are advised to upgrade to safeguard against potential threats.
Two buffer allocation issues were identified in poppler

Summary

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.
