Gentoo Linux Security Advisory

Title: GPdf, KPDF, KOffice: Vulnerabilities in included xpdf (GLSA 200410-30)
Severity: normal
Exploitable: remote
Date: October 28, 2004
Updated: November 06, 2004
Bug(s): #68558, #68665, #68571, #69936, #69624
ID: 200410-30

Synopsis


GPdf, KPDF and KOffice all include vulnerable xpdf code to handle PDF
files, making them vulnerable to execution of arbitrary code upon viewing a
malicious PDF file.


Background


GPdf is a Gnome-based PDF viewer. KPDF, part of the kdegraphics package, is
a KDE-based PDF viewer. KOffice is an integrated office suite for KDE.


Affected Packages

Package: app-office/koffice
Vulnerable: < 1.3.4-r1
Unaffected: >= 1.3.4-r1
Unaffected: >= 1.3.3-r2 < 1.3.4
Architectures: All supported architectures

Package: app-text/gpdf
Vulnerable: < 2.8.0-r2
Unaffected: >= 2.8.0-r2
Unaffected: >= 0.132-r2 < 0.133
Architectures: All supported architectures

Package: kde-base/kdegraphics
Vulnerable: < 3.3.1-r2
Unaffected: >= 3.3.1-r2
Unaffected: >= 3.3.0-r2 < 3.3.1
Unaffected: >= 3.2.3-r2 < 3.2.4
Architectures: All supported architectures


Description


GPdf, KPDF and KOffice all include xpdf code to handle PDF files. xpdf is
vulnerable to multiple integer overflows, as described in GLSA 200410-20.


Impact


An attacker could entice a user to open a specially-crafted PDF file,
potentially resulting in execution of arbitrary code with the rights of the
user running the affected utility.


Workaround


There is no known workaround at this time.


Resolution


All GPdf users should upgrade to the latest version:
Code:
# emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-text/gpdf-0.132-r2"

All KDE users should upgrade to the latest version of kdegraphics:
Code:
# emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=kde-base/kdegraphics-3.3.0-r2"

All KOffice users should upgrade to the latest version:
Code:
# emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-office/koffice-1.3.3-r2"
