DSA 1537-1: New xpdf packages fix multiple vulnerabilities

Posted by Bob on: 04/02/2008 10:45 PM [ Print | 0 comment(s) ]

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

Hash: SHA1

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
Debian Security Advisory DSA-1537-1 security@debian.org
http://www.debian.org/security/ Devin Carraway
April 02, 2008 http://www.debian.org/security/faq
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------

Package : xpdf
Vulnerability : multiple
Problem type : local (remote)
Debian-specific: no
CVE Id(s) : CVE-2007-4352 CVE-2007-5392 CVE-2007-5393

Alin Rad Pop (Secunia) discovered a number of vulnerabilities in xpdf, a set
of tools for display and conversion of Portable Document Format (PDF) files.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following
three problems:

CVE-2007-4352

Inadequate DCT stream validation allows an attacker to corrupt
memory and potentially execute arbitrary code by supplying a
maliciously crafted PDF file.

CVE-2007-5392

An integer overflow vulnerability in DCT stream handling could
allow an attacker to overflow a heap buffer, enabling the execution
of arbitrary code.

CVE-2007-5393

A buffer overflow vulnerability in xpdf's CCITT image compression
handlers allows overflow on the heap, allowing an attacker to
execute arbitrary code by supplying a maliciously crafted
CCITTFaxDecode filter.

For the stable distribution (etch), these problems have been fixed in
version 3.01-9.1+etch2.

For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems have been fixed in
version 3.02-1.3.

We recommend that you upgrade your xpdf 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 below:

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 4.0 alias etch
- -------------------------------

Stable updates are available for amd64, arm, hppa, i386, ia64, mips, mipsel, powerpc, s390 and sparc.
