KPdf includes vulnerable Xpdf code to handle PDF files, making it vulnerable to the execution of arbitrary code.. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Gentoo Linux Security Advisory GLSA 200602-05 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - https://security.gentoo.org/ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Severity: Normal Title: KPdf: Heap based overflow Date: February 12, 2006 Bugs: #121375 ID: 200602-05 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Synopsis ======= KPdf includes vulnerable Xpdf code to handle PDF files, making it vulnerable to the execution of arbitrary code. Background ========= KPdf is a KDE-based PDF viewer included in the kdegraphics package. Affected packages ================ ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 kde-base/kdegraphics < 3.4.3-r4 > = 3.4.3-r4 2 kde-base/kpdf < 3.4.3-r4 > = 3.4.3-r4 ------------------------------------------------------------------- 2 affected packages on all of their supported architectures. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Description ========== KPdf includes Xpdf code to handle PDF files. Dirk Mueller discovered that the Xpdf code is vulnerable a heap based overflow in the splash rasterizer engine. Impact ===== An attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted PDF file with Kpdf, potentially resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the rights of the user running the affected application. Workaround ========= There is no known workaround at this time. Resolution ========= All kdegraphics users should upgrade to the latestversion: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "> =kde-base/kdegraphics-3.4.3-r4" All Kpdf users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "> =kde-base/kpdf-3.4.3-r4" References ========= [ 1 ] CVE-2006-0301 https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2006-0301 [ 2 ] KDE Security Advisory: kpdf/xpdf heap based buffer overflow https://kde.org/info/security/advisory-20060202-1.txt Availability =========== This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: https://security.gentoo.org/glsa/200602-05 Concerns? ======== Security is a primary focus of Gentoo Linux and ensuring the confidentiality and security of our users machines is of utmost importance to us.
