Array index error in the DCTStream::readProgressiveDataUnit method in
xpdf/Stream.cc in Xpdf 3.02pl1, as used in poppler, teTeX, KDE, KOffice,
CUPS, and other products, allows remote attackers to trigger memory
corruption and execute arbitrary code via a crafted PDF file.

Integer overflow in the DCTStream::reset method in xpdf/Stream.cc in
Xpdf 3.02p11 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a

Heap-based buffer overflow in the CCITTFaxStream::lookChar method in
xpdf/Stream.cc in Xpdf 3.02p11 allows remote attackers to execute

For the stable distribution (etch), these problems have been fixed in version

Updates for the old stable distribution (sarge), will be made available
as soon as possible.
