Package name: gpdf
Advisory ID: MDKSA-2005:016
Date: January 25th, 2005
Affected versions: 10.0, 10.1, Corporate Server 3.0
______________________________________________________________________
Problem Description:
A buffer overflow vulnerability was discovered in the xpdf PDF
code, which could allow for arbitrary code execution as the user
viewing a PDF file. The vulnerability exists due to insufficient bounds
checking while processing a PDF file that provides malicious values in
the /Encrypt /Length tag. Gpdf uses xpdf code and is susceptible to the
same vulnerability.
The updated packages have been patched to prevent these problems.
