security advisorymoderateFedoraFedora 9: 2009-2655 Moderate: Pdfjam Script Security Issues
PDFjam scripts previously create temporary files with predictable names, and are also susceptible to the search path being modified. This update fixes the two issues.. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2009-2655 2009-03-13 18:03:29 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Name : pdfjam Product : Fedora 9 Version : 1.21 Release : 1.fc9 URL : Summary : Utilities for join, rotate and align PDFs Description : PDFjam is a small collection of shell scripts which provide a simple interface to some of the functionality of the excellent pdfpages package (by Andreas Matthias) for pdfLaTeX. At present the utilities available are: * pdfnup, which allows PDF files to be "n-upped" in roughly the way that psnup does for PostScript files; * pdfjoin, which concatenates the pages of multiple PDF files together into a single file; * pdf90, which rotates the pages of one or more PDF files through 90 degrees (anti-clockwise). In every case, source files are left unchanged. A potential drawback of these utilities is that any hyperlinks in the source PDF are lost. On the positive side, there is no appreciable degradation of image quality in processing PDF files with these programs, unlike some other indirect methods such as "pdf2ps | psnup | ps2pdf" (in the author's experience). --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Update Information: PDFjam scripts previously create temporary files with predictable names, and are also susceptible to the search path being modified. This update fixes the two issues. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------References: [ 1 ] Bug #480174 - pdfjam: multiple security issues (CVE-2008-5743, CVE-2008-5843) https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=480174 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------This update can be installed with the "yum" update program. Use su -c 'yum update pdfjam' at the command line. For more information, refer to "Managing Software with yum", available at . All packages are signed with the Fedora Project GPG key. More details on the GPG keys used by the Fedora Project can be found at https://fedoraproject.org/security/ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------_______________________________________________ Fedora-package-announce mailing list
