Package name poppler Date February 2nd, 2006 Advisory ID MDKSA-2006:030 Affected versions 2006.0

Problem Description

Heap-based buffer overflow in Splash.cc in xpdf allows attackers to
cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via
crafted splash images that produce certain values that exceed the width
or height of the associated bitmap.

Poppler uses a copy of the xpdf code and as such has the same issues.

The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.
