1. Systems affected:
KDE 3.2.0 up to including KDE 3.5.0
KOffice 1.3.0 up to including KOffice 1.4.2
2. Overview:
kpdf, the KDE pdf viewer, shares code with xpdf. xpdf contains
multiple integer overflow vulnerabilities that allow specially
crafted pdf files, when opened, to overflow a heap allocated
buffer and execute arbitrary code.
3. Impact:
Remotely supplied pdf files can be used to execute arbitrary
code on the client machine.
4. Solution:
Source code patches have been made available which fix these
vulnerabilities. Contact your OS vendor / binary package provider
for information about how to obtain updated binary packages.
