Background

Poppler is a cross-platform PDF rendering library originally based on Xpdf. KOffice is an integrated office suite for KDE. KWord is the KOffice word processor. KPDF is a KDE-based PDF viewer included in the kdegraphics package.

Description

Alin Rad Pop (Secunia Research) discovered several vulnerabilities in the "Stream.cc" file of Xpdf: An integer overflow in the DCTStream::reset() method and a boundary error in the CCITTFaxStream::lookChar() method, both leading to heap-based buffer overflows (CVE-2007-5392, CVE-2007-5393). He also discovered a boundary checking error in the DCTStream::readProgressiveDataUnit() method causing memory corruption (CVE-2007-4352). Note: Gentoo's version of Xpdf is patched to use the Poppler library, so the update to Poppler will also fix Xpdf.

Impact

By enticing a user to view or process a specially crafted PDF file with KWord or KPDF or a Poppler-based program such as Gentoo's viewers Xpdf, ePDFView, and Evince or the CUPS printing system, a remote attacker could cause an overflow, potentially resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application.

Background

Poppler is a cross-platform PDF rendering library originally based on Xpdf.

Description

Poppler and Xpdf are vulnerable to an integer overflow in the StreamPredictor::StreamPredictor function, and a stack overflow in the StreamPredictor::getNextLine function. The original vulnerability was discovered by Maurycy Prodeus. Note: Gentoo's version of Xpdf is patched to use the Poppler library, so the update to Poppler will also fix Xpdf.

Impact

By enticing a user to view a specially crafted program with a Poppler-based PDF viewer such as Gentoo's Xpdf, Epdfview, or Evince, a remote attacker could cause an overflow, potentially resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application.
