KPdf, KOffice: More vulnerabilities in included Xpdf KPdf and KOffice both include vulnerable Xpdf code to handle PDF files, making them vulnerable to the execution of arbitrary code if a user is enticed to view a malicious PDF file. kpdf, koffice 2005-01-11 2005-01-12 75203 75204 remote 1.3.5-r1 1.3.5-r1 3.3.2-r1 3.2.3-r3 3.3.2-r1

KPdf is a KDE-based PDF viewer included in the kdegraphics package. KOffice is an integrated office suite for KDE.

KPdf and KOffice both include Xpdf code to handle PDF files. Xpdf is vulnerable to multiple new integer overflows, as described in GLSA 200412-24.

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

There is no known workaround at this time.

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

# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose kde-base/kdegraphics

All KOffice users should upgrade to the latest version:

# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose app-office/koffice GLSA 200412-24 CAN-2004-1125 KDE Security Advisory: kpdf Buffer Overflow Vulnerability KOffice XPDF Integer Overflow 2 jaervosz jaervosz
