2. Relevant releases/architectures:

RHEL Desktop Workstation (v. 5 client) - i386, x86_64
RHEL Optional Productivity Applications (v. 5 server) - i386, x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS version 4 - i386, ia64, ppc, s390, s390x, x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop (v. 5 client) - i386, x86_64

3. Description:

The kdegraphics packages contain applications for the K Desktop
Environment, including KPDF, a viewer for Portable Document Format (PDF)
files.

An uninitialized pointer use flaw was discovered in KPDF. An attacker could
create a malicious PDF file that, when opened, would cause KPDF to crash
or, potentially, execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2010-3702)

An array index error was found in the way KPDF parsed PostScript Type 1
fonts embedded in PDF documents. An attacker could create a malicious PDF
file that, when opened, would cause KPDF to crash or, potentially, execute
arbitrary code. (CVE-2010-3704)

Users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain
backported patches to correct these issues.

4. Solution:

Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to
use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at
