+ <background>
+ <p>
+ Xpdf, Kpdf and GPdf are PDF file viewers that run under the X
+ Window System. Kpdf and GPdf both contain Xpdf code. Kpdf is also part
+ of kdegraphics.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Xpdf, Kpdf and GPdf do not handle a broken table of embedded
+ TrueType fonts correctly. After detecting such a table, Xpdf, Kpdf and
+ GPdf attempt to reconstruct the information in it by decoding the PDF
+ file, which causes the generation of a huge temporary file.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ A remote attacker may cause a Denial of Service by creating a
+ specially crafted PDF file, sending it to a CUPS printing system (which
+ uses Xpdf), or by enticing a user to open it in Xpdf, Kpdf, or GPdf.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All Xpdf users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=app-text/xpdf-3.00-r10&quot;</code>
+ <p>
+ All GPdf users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=app-text/gpdf-2.10.0-r1&quot;</code>
