DSA 1352-1: New pdfkit.framework packages fix arbitrary code execution

Posted by Bob on: 08/07/2007 10:45 PM [ Print | 0 comment(s) ]

The Debian Security Team published a new security update for Debian GNU/Linux. Here the announcement:

Debian Security Advisory DSA 1352-1 security@debian.org
http://www.debian.org/security/ Moritz Muehlenhoff
August 7th, 2007 http://www.debian.org/security/faq
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Package : pdfkit.framework
Vulnerability : integer overflow
Problem type : local (remote)
Debian-specific: no
CVE ID : CVE-2007-3387

It was discovered that an integer overflow in the xpdf PDF viewer may lead
to the execution of arbitrary code if a malformed PDF file is opened.

pdfkit.framework includes a copy of the xpdf code and required an update
as well.

For the oldstable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in
version 0.8-2sarge4.

The package from the stable distribution (etch) links dynamically
against libpoppler and doesn't require a separate update.

The package from the unstable distribution (sid) links dynamically
against libpoppler and doesn't require a separate update.

We recommend that you upgrade your pdfkit.framework packages.


Upgrade Instructions
- --------------------

wget url
will fetch the file for you
dpkg -i file.deb
will install the referenced file.

If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for
sources.list as given at the end of this advisory:

apt-get update
will update the internal database
apt-get upgrade
will install corrected packages

You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the
footer to the proper configuration.

Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 alias sarge
