Package name xpdf
Date February 2nd, 2006
Advisory ID MDKSA-2006:032
Affected versions CS3.0, 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.

The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.
