GPdf, KPDF, KOffice: Vulnerabilities in included xpdf

GPdf, KPDF, KOffice: Vulnerabilities in included xpdf GPdf, KPDF and KOffice all include vulnerable xpdf code to handle PDF files, making them vulnerable to execution of arbitrary code upon viewing a malicious PDF file. GPdf 2004-10-28 2004-11-06 68558 68665 68571 69936 69624 remote 1.3.4-r1 1.3.3-r2 1.3.4-r1 2.8.0-r2 0.132-r2 2.8.0-r2 3.3.1-r2 3.3.0-r2 3.2.3-r2 3.3.1-r2

GPdf is a Gnome-based PDF viewer. KPDF, part of the kdegraphics package, is a KDE-based PDF viewer. KOffice is an integrated office suite for KDE.

GPdf, KPDF and KOffice all include xpdf code to handle PDF files. xpdf is vulnerable to multiple integer overflows, as described in GLSA 200410-20.

An attacker could entice a user to open a specially-crafted PDF file, potentially resulting in execution of arbitrary code with the rights of the user running the affected utility.

There is no known workaround at this time.

All GPdf users should upgrade to the latest version:


    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-text/gpdf-0.132-r2"

All KDE users should upgrade to the latest version of kdegraphics:


    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=kde-base/kdegraphics-3.3.0-r2"

All KOffice users should upgrade to the latest version:


    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-office/koffice-1.3.3-r2"
