| Title: | RHSA-2005:066: kdegraphics security update (Important) |
| Description: | The kdegraphics packages contain applications for the K Desktop Environment including kpdf, a pdf file viewer.
A buffer overflow flaw was found in the Gfx::doImage function of Xpdf that also affects kpdf due to a shared codebase. An attacker could construct a carefully crafted PDF file that could cause kpdf to crash or possibly execute arbitrary code when opened. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2004-1125 to this issue.
A buffer overflow flaw was found in the Decrypt::makeFileKey2 function of Xpdf which also affects kpdf due to a shared codebase. An attacker could construct a carefully crafted PDF file that could cause kpdf to crash or possibly execute arbitrary code when opened. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2005-0064 to this issue.
During a source code audit, Chris Evans and others discovered a number of integer overflow bugs that affected all versions of Xpdf which also affects kpdf due to a shared codebase. An attacker could construct a carefully crafted PDF file that could cause kpdf to crash or possibly execute arbitrary code when opened. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2004-0888 to this issue.
Users should update to these erratum packages which contain backported patches to correct these issues.
