[***** Start Red Hat Security Advisory 2005:840-10 *****] xpdf security update Advisory: RHSA-2005:840-10 Type: Security Advisory Issued on: 2005-12-06 Last updated on: 2005-12-20 Affected Products: Red Hat Desktop (v. 3) Red Hat Desktop (v. 4) Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS (v. 2.1) Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS (v. 3) Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS (v. 4) Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES (v. 2.1) Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES (v. 3) Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES (v. 4) Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS (v. 2.1) Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS (v. 3) Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS (v. 4) Red Hat Linux Advanced Workstation 2.1 for the Itanium Processor CVEs (cve.mitre.org): CVE-2005-3191 CVE-2005-3192 CVE-2005-3193 Details An updated xpdf package that fixes several security issues is now available. This update has been rated as having important security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team. [Updated 20 Dec 2005] The initial fix for these issues was incomplete. The packages have been updated with a more complete fix. The xpdf package is an X Window System-based viewer for Portable Document Format (PDF) files. Several flaws were discovered in Xpdf. An attacker could construct a carefully crafted PDF file that could cause Xpdf to crash or possibly execute arbitrary code when opened. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project assigned the names CVE-2005-3191, CVE-2005-3192, and CVE-2005-3193 to these issues. Users of Xpdf should upgrade to this updated package, which contains a backported patch to resolve these issues. Red Hat would like to thank Derek B. Noonburg for reporting this issue and providing a patch. Solution Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied.
