(Note: This advisory can also be found at http://pdfsig-collision.florz.de/)

= Summary =

1.3 onward, including ISO 19005-1:2005 (PDF/A-1) and ISO 32000-1:2008
(equivalent to PDF 1.7), ostensibly defines a mechanism for digitally
signing a document's contents so as to integrate cryptographic
authentication of a document's contents into the existing container

[ MDVSA-2011:175 ] poppler

 Multiple security vulnerabilities has been discovered and corrected
 in poppler:
 
 An out-of-bounds reading flaw in the JBIG2 decoder allows remote
 attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted PDF file
 (CVE-2009-0799).
 
 Multiple input validation flaws in the JBIG2 decoder allows
 remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted PDF file
 (CVE-2009-0800).

Foxit Reader Multiple Vulnerabilities (CORE-2009-0218)

CVE Name: CVE-2009-0836, CVE-2009-0837


3. *Vulnerability Description*

Foxit Reader is a lightweight, free PDF document viewer and printer. PDF
files may include actions (i.e., 'Go to a page view', 'Open/Execute a
file', 'Open a web link', 'Execute a menu item') associated with
different triggers (i.e., 'Mouse Up', 'Mouse Down', 'Page Visible',
'Page Invisible'). The way Foxit Reader handles an 'Open/Execute a file'
action makes the software victim of two kinds of vulnerabilities:

RE: Millions of PDF invisibly embedded with your internal disk paths

Knowing the path of the home directory of an unknown host has little, if any, value.  Even if you know the host, you would have to get the user to run code interactively to leverage this "privacy issue" in addition to ensuring that the interactive user was indeed the same user that created the PDF doc.  And that code would have to be written specifically for that particularly host/user, which is inefficient (barring network based home directory settings).  Any time I've needed local user path for proof-of-concept code, I simply parse the HOMEPATH environmental variable to ensure the code runs properly and that it can be easily applied to any host.

I found an interesting privacy issue while analyzing PDF files. This bug
occurs when you are using Internet Explorer to print locally saved web pages
as PDF and affects all IE versions including IE8. It does not matter which
PDF generation software you are using like Adobe Acrobat Professional,
CutePDF, PrimoPDF, etc as long as you are invoking it from inside the IE
print function. In Windows, even when your default browser is not IE and if
you right click a file to select the PRINT from the context menu, then by

Meh.   I replied to something similar off-list.

"Leaking" a pdf with 'e:\nethome\joe_kitten_lover' doesn't remotely "prove" anything.  If I create a user called MayIMommaDogFaceToTheBannanPatch and "leaked" a pdf, it doesn't mean Steve Martin was culpable.  This is a non-issue, no matter how much you might want to create some fanciful "bonsai kitten" theory to get Joe in trouble, dawg.
