Date Reported:

13 Jan 2006

Affected Packages:

gpdf

Vulnerable:

Security database references:

In Mitre's CVE dictionary: CVE-2005-3191, CVE-2005-3192, CVE-2005-3624, CVE-2005-3625, CVE-2005-3626, CVE-2005-3627, CVE-2005-3628.

More information:

"infamous41md" and Chris Evans discovered several heap based buffer overflows in xpdf, the Portable Document Format (PDF) suite, which is also present in gpdf, the GNOME version of the Portable Document Format viewer, and which can lead to a denial of service by crashing the application or possibly to the execution of arbitrary code.

The old stable distribution (woody) does not contain gpdf packages.

For the stable distribution (sarge) these problems have been fixed in version 2.8.2-1.2sarge2.

For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in version 2.10.0-2.

We recommend that you upgrade your gpdf package.

Fixed in:

Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 (sarge)
