+ 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. +

+
+ +

+ 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. +

+
+ +

+ 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. +

+
+ +

+ There is no known workaround at this time. +

+
+ +

+ All Xpdf users should upgrade to the latest version: +

+ + # emerge --sync + # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-text/xpdf-3.00-r10" +

+ All GPdf users should upgrade to the latest version: +

+ + # emerge --sync + # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-text/gpdf-2.10.0-r1" +

+ All Kpdf users should upgrade to the latest version: +

+ + # emerge --sync + # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=kde-base/kdegraphics-3.3.2-r3" +
