Affected Packages:

Vulnerable:

Security database references:

In the Debian bugtracking system: Bug 342292.
In Mitre's CVE dictionary: CVE-2005-3191, CVE-2005-3192, CVE-2005-3624, CVE-2005-3625, CVE-2005-3626, CVE-2005-3627, CVE-2005-3628.

More information:

"infamous41md" and Chris Evans discovered several heap based buffer overflows in xpdf, the Portable Document Format (PDF) suite, which is also present in tetex-bin, the binary files of teTeX, and which can lead to a denial of service by crashing the application or possibly to the execution of arbitrary code.

For the old stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in version 1.0.7+20011202-7.7.

For the stable distribution (sarge) these problems have been fixed in version 2.0.2-30sarge4.

For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in version 0.4.3-2 of poppler against which tetex-bin links.

We recommend that you upgrade your tetex-bin package.

Fixed in:

Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 (woody)
