Required for strtol()
-
When parsing content streams, allow content to be split arbitrarily across stream boundaries.
-
The code was using 1.0, but we use /FlateDecode, which didn't appear until 1.2.
-
Very badly corrupted files may not have a retrievable root dictionary. Handle that as a special case so that a more helpful error message can be provided.
-
When requested, QPDFWriter will do more aggress prechecking of streams to make sure it can actually succeed in decoding them before attempting to do so. This will allow preservation of raw data even when the raw data is corrupted relative to the specified filters.
-
QPDFObjectHandle::parseInternal now issues warnings instead of throwing exceptions for all error conditions that it finds (except internal logic errors) and has stronger recovery for things like invalid tokens and malformed dictionaries. This should improve qpdf's ability to recover from a wide range of broken files that currently cause it to fail.
-
For cross compiling.
-
During parsing of an object, sometimes parts of the object have to be resolved. An example is stream lengths. If such an object directly or indirectly points to the object being parsed, it can cause an infinite loop. Guard against all cases of re-entrant resolution of objects.
-
This is CVE-2017-9208. The QPDF library uses object ID 0 internally as a sentinel to represent a direct object, but prior to this fix, was not blocking handling of 0 0 obj or 0 0 R as a special case. Creating an object in the file with 0 0 obj could cause various infinite loops. The PDF spec doesn't allow for object 0. Having qpdf handle object 0 might be a better fix, but changing all the places in the code that assumes objid == 0 means direct would be risky.
-
This is CVE-2017-9209.
-
This is CVE-2017-9210. The description string for an error message included unparsing an object, which is too complex of a thing to try to do while throwing an exception. There was only one example of this in the entire codebase, so it is not a pervasive problem. Fixing this eliminated one class of infinite loop errors.
-
The 64 Bit file functions are supported by C++-Builder as well and need to be used, else fseek will error out on larger files than 4 GB like used in the large file test.
-
Also update maintainer documentation on binary compatibility testing.
-
Since we have to bump soname, remove some private methods that were just there for binary compatibility
-
If xref table entries lack the spec-required trailing whitespace or contain a small amount of extra space, handle them anyway.
-
For non-encrypted files, determinstic ID generation uses file contents instead of timestamp and file name. At a small runtime cost, this enables generation of the same /ID if the same inputs are converted in the same way multiple times.
-
As reported in issue #40, a call to CryptAcquireContext in SecureRandomDataProvider fails in a fresh windows install prior to any user keys being created in AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA. Thanks michalrames.

Pushing inherited objects to pages and getting all pages were both prone to stack overflow infinite loops if there were loops in the Pages dictionary. There is a general weakness in the code in that any part of the code that traverses the Pages structure would be prone to this and would have to implement its own loop detection. A more robust fix may provide some general method for handling the Pages structure, but it's probably not worth doing. Note: addition of *Internal2 private functions was done rather than changing signatures of existing methods to avoid breaking compatibility.
-
Converting a password to an encryption key is supposed to copy up to a certain number of bytes from a digest. Make sure never to copy more than the size of the digest.
-
When checking two objects preceding R while parsing, ensure that the objects are direct. This avoids stuff like 1 0 obj containing 1 0 R 0 R from causing an infinite loop in object resolution.

Original reported here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qpdf/+bug/1397413 The PDF specification says that the /Type key for nodes in the pages dictionary (both /Page and /Pages) is required, but some PDF files omit them. Use the presence of other keys to determine the type of pages tree node this is if the type key is not found.
