Description:
------------
i would like to inform you that recently multiple buffer overflows have been found inside of pdflib. php apps that uses pdflib can be exploited by passing a long filename to certain funtions (ie PDF_load_image()). pdflib developers have been contacted and they plained to fix those bugs in the next release.

I know this is not a php bug so i only hope it can be useful in some way

please keep this information confidential


cheers,

Reproduce code:
---------------
PDF_load_image($p, str_repeat("A", 1100),null)

Current PDFlib (PDFlib 9.0.7) does not have this problem any longer.

Here the error message that is implemented:

MyBigMac (2)$ 
PDFlib exception occurred in starter_image sample:
[1069] load_image: Specified file name too long (> 1024 bytes): 'AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA'
 [2016-08-25 13:37 UTC] rjs@php.net 
This was fixed with this bugfix in PDFlib:

- 2007-12-06 (bug #1548/add-on)
 Check incoming filename parameters and searchpath entries for a maximum
 length of 1023 bytes. This fixes vulnerability CVE-2007-6561.
