Buffer overflow in the JBIG2Bitmap::JBIG2Bitmap function in JBIG2Stream.cc in Xpdf, as used in products such as gpdf, kpdf, pdftohtml, poppler, teTeX, CUPS, libextractor, and others, allows attackers to modify memory and possibly execute arbitrary code via unknown attack vectors.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old but potentially serious PDF parsing flaw. A malformed JBIG2 image stream in Xpdf-derived code could corrupt memory and possibly run attacker-controlled code. Business risk is concentrated where legacy Linux systems or services still process untrusted PDF content. Exposure is most likely in legacy systems with Xpdf or downstream PDF-processing packages from the 2005-2006 period, especially automated document conversion, indexing, printing, or extraction workflows handling untrusted PDFs. Treat this as a legacy exposure cleanup item with high impact potential. Prioritize systems that process external PDFs automatically or remain on unsupported distributions. Mitigation focus: Apply relevant vendor or distribution security updates for Xpdf-derived PDF packages.; Inventory systems for Xpdf, poppler, CUPS, pdftohtml, gpdf, kpdf, teTeX, and libextractor.; Restrict untrusted PDF processing on systems where patch status is unknown..
