If set, we avoid using Windows I/O HANDLE, which is disallowed in some
versions of the Windows SDK, such as for Windows phones.
QUtil::same_file will always return false in this case. Only applies
to Windows builds.
The original QPDF is only required now when the source
QPDFObjectHandle is a stream that gets its stream data from a
QPDFObjectHandle::StreamDataProvider.
Instead of calling assert for problems found during checking
linearization data, throw an exception which is later caught and
issued as an error. Ideally we would handle errors more robustly, but
this is still a significant improvement.
On certain operations, such as iterating through all objects and
adding new indirect objects, walk through the entire object structure
and explicitly resolve any indirect references to non-existent
objects. That prevents new objects from springing into existence and
causing the previously dangling references to point to them.
Instead of directly putting the contents of the annotation appearance
streams into the page's content stream, add commands to render the
form xobjects directly. This is a more robust way to do it than the
original solution as it works properly with patterns and avoids
problems with resource name clashes between the pages and the form
xobjects.
Flatten annotations by integrating their appearance streams into the
content stream of the containing page. In the case of form fields,
only flatten if /NeedAppearance is false (or equivalently absent). If
flattening form fields, also remove /AcroForm from the document
catalog.
Rather than keeping a list of buffers for every write, accumulate
bytes in a single buffer, doubling the size of the buffer when needed
to accommodate new data.
This is not the best possible implementation, but the change was
implemented in this way to avoid changing the shape of Pl_Buffer and
thus breaking backward compatibility.
If we are unable to filter a page's content streams, don't attempt to
remove objects from the page's resource dictionary. Also provide a
command line option to suppress resource removal in case we ever need
this as a workaround for some bug or broken PDF files.
This is the beginning of higher-level API support using helper
classes. The goal is to be able to add more helpers without continuing
to pollute QPDF's and QPDFObjectHandle's public interfaces.
Remove calls to assertPageObject(). All cases in the library that
called assertPageObject() work fine if you don't call
assertPageObject() because nothing assumes anything that was being
checked by that call. Removing the calls enables more files to be
successfully processed.
Prior to this fix, if there was a loop detected in following /Prev
pointers in xref streams/tables, it would cause qpdf to lose data.
Note that this condition causes many PDF readers to hang or fail.
The QPDF_String::getUTF8Val() method was not treating strings that
weren't explicitly Unicode as PDF Doc Encoded. This only affects
characters in the range 0x80 through 0xa0.
Implement a TokenFilter class and refactor Pl_QPDFTokenizer to use a
TokenFilter class called ContentNormalizer. Pl_QPDFTokenizer is now a
general filter that passes data through a TokenFilter.
Adding a trailing newline in content normalization damages files whose
contents are split across streams in the middle of tokens. Let
QPDFWriter add the newline with the indicator to ignore the newline,
which it already does. This changes the way some qdf files look.
Significant enhancements to the lexer to improve EOF handling and to
support comments and spaces as tokens. Various other minor issues were
fixed as well.
Add options to enable the raw encryption key to be directly shown or
specified. Thanks to Didier Stevens <didier.stevens@gmail.com> for the
idea and contribution of one implementation of this idea.
Make sure to link from the source tree before linking from the system.
In many environments, this is necessary to allow a newly built qpdf to
link properly instead of trying to link or resolve libraries from an
older installed version.
This commit adds several API methods that enable control over which
types of filters QPDF will attempt to decode. It also adds support for
/RunLengthDecode and /DCTDecode filters for both encoding and
decoding.
This reverts commit 8ee83ca722.
This is being removed because qpdf now has its own page rotation. The
example was an excellent contribution to qpdf, but now it illustrates
rotating pages "by hand", which is no longer needed because of
QPDFObjectHandle::rotatePage.
This is added to contrib rather than examples because it requires
c++-11 and lacks a test suite, but it is still useful enough to
include with the distribution.
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.

Several other infinite loop bugs were fixed by previous changes.
Include their test files in the test suite.
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-2017-9210.
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.
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.
