Synopsis |
16 |
======== |
17 |
|
18 |
Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Xpdf, GPdf, CUPS and |
19 |
Poppler potentially resulting in the execution of arbitrary code. |
20 |
|
21 |
Background |
22 |
========== |
23 |
|
24 |
Xpdf and GPdf are PDF file viewers that run under the X Window System. |
25 |
Poppler is a PDF rendering library based on Xpdf code. The Common UNIX |
26 |
Printing System (CUPS) is a cross-platform print spooler. It makes use |
27 |
of Xpdf code to handle PDF files. |

Description |
44 |
=========== |
45 |
|
46 |
infamous41md discovered that several Xpdf functions lack sufficient |
47 |
boundary checking, resulting in multiple exploitable buffer overflows. |
48 |
|
49 |
Impact |
50 |
====== |
51 |
|
52 |
An attacker could entice a user to open a specially-crafted PDF file |
53 |
which would trigger an overflow, potentially resulting in execution of |
54 |
arbitrary code with the rights of the user running Xpdf, CUPS, GPdf or |
55 |
Poppler. |
56 |
|
57 |
Workaround |

========== |
59 |
|
60 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
