+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Dirk Mueller has reported a vulnerability in Xpdf. It is caused by
+ a missing boundary check in the splash rasterizer engine when handling
+ PDF splash images with overly large dimensions.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ By sending a specially crafted PDF file to a victim, an attacker
+ could cause an overflow, potentially resulting in the execution of
+ arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application.
+ </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-3.01-r7&quot;</code>
