** Description changed: + * Impact + Evince segfaults on some pdf documents + + * Test case + Download and try to open https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=138927 with evince, it shouldn't segfault + + * Regression potential + Nothing special to test, make sure evince still opens pdfs without issue + + ----------------------------- + System Info: Linux zero 4.15.0-38-generic #41-Ubuntu SMP Wed Oct 10 10:59:38 UTC 2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux Evince version: GNOME Document Viewer 3.28.4 While fuzzing evince v3.28.4, on linux 4.15.0-38-generic (Ubuntu 18.04 LTS), a null-pointer dereference was observed, initially this was reported to evince but the evince team advised that the issue is in poppler, the library used by evince to render PDF, poppler version: 0.62.0-2ubuntu2.2 is vulnerable to null-pointer dereference, however the issue is already fixed in poppler 0.70, but this will still crash your evince v3.28.4 in ubuntu if poppler is not updated to v.0.70. Fuzzing result showing a very important vulnerability in a package currently shipped by a major Linux distribution is still of interest, even if that Linux distribution does not package the latest released upstream version. I think Ubuntu is still using, Source: poppler Version: 0.62.0-2ubuntu2.2 So, most of the systems will be affected to this issue. Upstream: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/poppler/poppler/issues/664
