The remote Ubuntu 16.04 ESM / 18.04 ESM / 20.04 ESM / 22.04 ESM host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-5282-1 advisory.

It was discovered that PDFResurrect was incorrectly handling corrupted PDF files. An attacker could     possibly use this issue to cause a buffer overflow, resulting in a denial of service, or arbitrary code     execution. This issue only affected Ubuntu 16.04 ESM and Ubuntu 18.04 ESM. (CVE-2019-14267)

It was discovered that PDFResurrect incorrectly handled memory when loading PDF pages. An attacker could     possibly use this issue to cause a heap buffer overflow, resulting in a denial of service, or arbitrary     code execution. This issue only affected Ubuntu 16.04 ESM and Ubuntu 18.04 ESM. (CVE-2019-14934)

It was discovered that PDFResurrect was incorrectly validating header data in input PDF files. An attacker     could possibly use this issue to cause a heap buffer overflow, resulting in a denial of service, or     arbitrary code execution. This issue only affected Ubuntu 16.04 ESM, Ubuntu 18.04 ESM and Ubuntu 20.04     ESM. (CVE-2020-20740)

Carter Yagemann discovered that PDFResurrect incorrectly handled certain memory operations during PDF     summary generation. An attacker could use this to cause out-of-bounds writes, resulting in a denial of     service (system crash) or arbitrary code execution. This issue only affected Ubuntu 18.04 ESM and Ubuntu     20.04 ESM. (CVE-2020-9549)

It was discovered that PDFResurrect was incorrectly processing data when performing trailer search     operations. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause an infinite loop, resulting in a denial of     service. (CVE-2021-3508)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
