Several vulnerabilities were discovered in evince, a simple multi-page
document viewer.
CVE-2017-1000159
Tobias Mueller reported that the DVI exporter in evince is
susceptible to a command injection vulnerability via specially
crafted filenames.
CVE-2019-11459
Andy Nguyen reported that the tiff_document_render() and
tiff_document_get_thumbnail() functions in the TIFF document backend
did not handle errors from TIFFReadRGBAImageOriented(), leading to
disclosure of uninitialized memory when processing TIFF image files.
CVE-2019-1010006
A buffer overflow vulnerability in the tiff backend could lead to
denial of service, or potentially the execution of arbitrary code if
a specially crafted PDF file is opened.
For the oldstable distribution (stretch), these problems have been fixed
in version 3.22.1-3+deb9u2.
For the stable distribution (buster), these problems have been fixed in
version 3.30.2-3+deb10u1. The stable distribution is only affected by
CVE-2019-11459.
