Dist Fedora Esm H88
Fedora Core 3's gpdf update mitigates vulnerabilities in PDF handling, thereby safeguarding against potential crashes and unauthorized code execution.
Chris Evans discovered several flaws in the way CUPS processes PDF files

Summary

This is GPdf, a viewer for Portable Document Format (PDF) files for

GNOME. GPdf is based on the Xpdf program and uses additional GNOME

libraries for better desktop integration.

GPdf includes the gpdf application, a Bonobo control for PDF display

which can be embedded in Nautilus, and a Nautilus property page for

PDF files.

Chris Evans discovered several flaws in the way CUPS

processes PDF files. An attacker could construct a carefully

crafted PDF file that could cause CUPS to crash or possibly

execute arbitrary code when opened. The Common

Vulnerabilities and Exposures project assigned the names

CVE-2005-3624, CVE-2005-3625, CVE-2005-3626, and

CVE-2005-3627 to these issues.

- Apply fix for CVE-2005-3624 (also covers CVE-2005-3193)

(bug 176866)
