Debian 5.0: DSA-2050-1 Critical: KPDF Code Execution Threat

Several local vulnerabilities have been discovered in KPDF, a PDF viewer
for KDE, which allow the execution of arbitrary code or denial of
service if a user is tricked into opening a crafted PDF document.

For the stable distribution (lenny), these problems have been fixed in
version 4:3.5.9-3+lenny3.

The unstable distribution (sid) no longer contains kpdf. It's replacement,
Okular, links against the poppler PDF library.

We recommend that you upgrade your kdegraphics packages.
