CVE-2025-50420에 대한 개념 증명 익스플로잇으로, 조작된 /Annots 사전을 통해 Poppler의 pdfseparate에서 무한 재귀를 발생시켜 서비스 거부를 유발합니다. AFL 퍼징 설정과 GDB 충돌 분석을 포함합니다.
Poppler 25.07.0 이전 버전에는 pdfseparate 유틸리티의 PDFDoc 처리 로직에 취약점이 존재합니다. 제작된 "/Annots" 사전이 자기 자신 또는 서로를 참조하면 "PDFDoc::markAnnotations --> PDFDoc::markPageObjects --> PDFDoc::markObject --> PDFDoc::markDictionary"에서 무한 재귀가 발생합니다. 루프 감지는 각 fetch()에서 사전 포인터 주소가 다르기 때문에 실패합니다. 원격 공격자는 악성 PDF를 처리하여 서비스 거부(애플리케이션 정지 또는 충돌)를 유발할 수 있습니다.
여기서 저는 악성 PDF(poppler-pdfseparate-poc)를 제작했으며, "/Annots"가 자기 참조 또는 상호 참조 사전으로 확인되도록 하여 Poppler의 markAnnotations --> markPageObjects --> markObject --> markDictionary 재귀가 루프를 감지하지 못하고 호출 스택을 고갈(무한 재귀)시키도록 합니다. 악용에는 PDF를 열거나 처리하는 것만으로 충분합니다(예: pdfseparate 사용).
재현 과정은 다음과 같습니다:```bash afl_env(base) user@ubuntu:~/zgd/AFLProject/pdf_parsers/poppler-25.04.0/build/utils$ ./pdfseparate ./../../../../pdf_fuzz/p oppler-master/pdfseparate/analyze_crashes/only_custom/all_crashes/poppler-pdfseparate-poc /dev/null Segmentation fault (core dumped)
