RedHat: kdegraphics security update
Summary
The kdegraphics packages contain applications for the K Desktop
Environment, including KPDF, a viewer for Portable Document Format (PDF)
files.
Petr Gajdos and Christian Kornacker of SUSE reported a buffer overflow flaw
in KPDF's Type 1 font parser. A specially-crafted PDF file with an embedded
Type 1 font could cause KPDF to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code
when opened. (CVE-2009-4035)
Users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a
backported patch to correct this issue.
Summary
