USN227-1 : xpdf/cupsys/tetex-bin/kdegraphics/koffice vulnerabilities

Vulnerability Assessment Summary xpdf/cupsys/tetex-bin/kdegraphics/koffice vulnerabilities Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment Summary : These remote packages are missing security patches : - cupsys - cupsys-bsd - cupsys-client - kamera - karbon - kchart - kcoloredit - kdegraphics - kdegraphics-dev - kdegraphics-doc-html - kdegraphics-kfile-tests - kdvi - kfax - kformula - kgamma - kghostview - kiconedit - kivio - kivio-data - kmrml - koffice - koffice-data - koffice-dev - koffice-doc-html - koffice-libs - kolourpaint - kooka - koshell - kpdf - kpovmodeler - kpresenter - krita - kruler - ksnapshot - kspre [...] Description : infamous41md discovered several integer overflows in the XPDF code, which is present in xpdf, the Poppler library, tetex-bin, KOffice, and kpdf. By tricking an user into opening a specially crafted PDF file, a possible hacker could exploit this to execute arbitrary code with the rights of the application that processes the document. The CUPS printing system also uses XPDF code to convert PDF files to PostScript. By attempting to print such a crafted PDF file, a remote attacker could execute arbitrary code with the rights of the printer server (user 'cupsys').
