Severity: Normal Title: Xpdf, Poppler: Heap overflow Date: February 12, 2006 Bugs: #120985 ID: 200602-04

Synopsis ========
Xpdf and Poppler are vulnerable to a heap overflow that may be exploited to execute arbitrary code.
Background ==========
Xpdf is a PDF file viewer that runs under the X Window System. Poppler is a PDF rendering library based on the Xpdf 3.0 code base.
Affected packages =================
------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 app-text/xpdf < 3.01-r7 >= 3.01-r7 2 app-text/poppler < 0.5.0-r4 >= 0.5.0-r4 ------------------------------------------------------------------- 2 affected packages on all of their supported architectures. -------------------------------------------------------------------
Description ===========
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.
Impact ======
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.
Workaround ==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution ==========
All Xpdf users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-text/xpdf-3.01-r7"
All Poppler users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-text/poppler-0.5.0-r4"
