DSA-182-1 kdegraphics -- buffer overflow

Debian Security Advisory

DSA-182-1 kdegraphics -- buffer overflow

Date Reported:

28 Oct 2002

Affected Packages:

kdegraphics

Vulnerable:

Yes

Security database references:

In the Bugtraq database (at SecurityFocus): BugTraq ID 5808.
In Mitre's CVE dictionary: CVE-2002-0838.

More information:

Zen-parse discovered a buffer overflow in gv, a PostScript and PDF viewer for X11. The same code is present in kghostview which is part of the KDE-Graphics package. This problem is triggered by scanning the PostScript file and can be exploited by an attacker sending a malformed PostScript or PDF file. The attacker is able to cause arbitrary code to be run with the privileges of the victim.

This problem has been fixed in version 2.2.2-6.8 for the current stable distribution (woody) and in version 2.2.2-6.9 for the unstable distribution (sid). The old stable distribution (potato) is not affected since no KDE is included.

We recommend that you upgrade your kghostview package.

Fixed in:

Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 (woody)
