RedHat: Important: xpdf security update RHSA-2005:840-01
Summary
Summary
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 name CAN-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.
