CVE-2007-0104
1. Systems affected:
KDE 3.2.0 up to including KDE 3.5.5. KDE 3.5.6 and newer is
not affected. KOffice 1.2 and newer contain the same code.
2. Overview:
kpdf, the KDE pdf viewer, shares code with xpdf. xpdf contains
a vulnerability that can cause denial of service (infinite loop)
via a PDF file that contains a crafted catalog dictionary
or a crafted Pages attribute that references an invalid page
tree node.
3. Impact:
Remotely supplied pdf files can be used to disrupt the kpdf
viewer on the client machine.
4. Solution:
Source code patches have been made available which fix these
vulnerabilities. Contact your OS vendor / binary package provider
