Check for the version of the kdegraphics package Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment The remote host is missing the patch for the advisory MDKSA-2004:115 (kdegraphics). Chris Evans discovered numerous vulnerabilities in the xpdf package, which also effect software using embedded xpdf code, such as kpdf: Multiple integer overflow issues affecting xpdf-2.0 and xpdf-3.0. Also programs like kpdf which have embedded versions of xpdf. These can result in writing an arbitrary byte to a possible hacker controlled location which probably could lead to arbitrary code execution. The updated packages are patched to protect against these vulnerabilities.
