+ <title>Poppler: Two buffer overflow vulnerabilities</title>

+ Poppler is vulnerable to an integer overflow and a stack overflow.

+ <background>
+ <p>
+ Poppler is a cross-platform PDF rendering library originally based on
+ Xpdf.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Poppler and Xpdf are vulnerable to an integer overflow in the
+ StreamPredictor::StreamPredictor function, and a stack overflow in the
+ StreamPredictor::getNextLine function. The original vulnerability was
+ discovered by Maurycy Prodeus. Note: Gentoo's version of Xpdf is
+ patched to use the Poppler library, so the update to Poppler will also
+ fix Xpdf.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ By enticing a user to view a specially crafted program with a
+ Poppler-based PDF viewer such as Gentoo's Xpdf, Epdfview, or Evince, a
+ remote 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 Poppler users should upgrade to the latest version of Poppler:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=app-text/poppler-0.5.4-r2"</code>
