                 Mandrakelinux Security Update Advisory
 _______________________________________________________________________

 Package name:           xpdf
 Advisory ID:            MDKSA-2004:113
 Date:                   October 21st, 2004

 Affected versions:      10.0, Corporate Server 2.1
 ______________________________________________________________________

 Problem Description:

 Chris Evans discovered numerous vulnerabilities in the xpdf package: 
 
 Multiple integer overflow issues affecting xpdf-2.0 and xpdf-3.0.
 Also programs like cups which have embedded versions of xpdf.
 These can result in writing an arbitrary byte to an attacker controlled
 location which probably could lead to arbitrary code execution.
 (CAN-2004-0888)
 
 Multiple integer overflow issues affecting xpdf-3.0 only.        
 These can result in DoS or possibly arbitrary code execution.
 (CAN-2004-0889)
 
 Chris also discovered issues with infinite loop logic error affecting 
 xpdf-3.0 only.     
 
 The updated packages are patched to deal with these issues.
