+ 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.
+ GPdf is a PDF file viewer for the GNOME 2 platform, also based on Xpdf.
+ libextractor is a library which includes Xpdf code to extract arbitrary
+ meta-data from files. pdftohtml is a utility to convert PDF files to
+ HTML or XML formats that makes use of Xpdf code to decode PDF files.

+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Chris Evans has reported some integer overflows in Xpdf when
+ attempting to calculate buffer sizes for memory allocation, leading to
+ a heap overflow and a potential infinite loop when handling malformed
+ input files.
+ </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 "&gt;=app-text/xpdf-3.01-r5"</code>
+ <p>
+ All Poppler users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=app-text/poppler-0.4.3-r4"</code>
+ <p>
+ All GPdf users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=app-text/gpdf-2.10.0-r3"</code>
+ <p>
+ All libextractor users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=media-libs/libextractor-0.5.9"</code>
+ <p>
+ All pdftohtml users should migrate to the latest stable version
+ of Poppler.
