Updated xpdf packages fix security vulnerabilities

Publication date: 04 Mar 2021
Modification date: 04 Mar 2021
Type: security
Affected Mageia releases : 7 , 8
CVE: CVE-2020-25725 , CVE-2020-35376

Description

In Xpdf 4.02, SplashOutputDev::endType3Char(GfxState *state)
SplashOutputDev.cc:3079 is trying to use the freed `t3GlyphStack->cache`, which
causes an `heap-use-after-free` problem. The codes of a previous fix for nested
Type 3 characters wasn't correctly handling the case where a Type 3 char
referred to another char in the same Type 3 font (CVE-2020-25725).

Xpdf 4.02 allows stack consumption because of an incorrect subroutine reference
in a Type 1C font charstring, related to the FoFiType1C::getOp() function
(CVE-2020-35376).
