Red Hat Security Advisory

Synopsis: Important: kdegraphics security update
Advisory ID: RHSA-2006:0206-01
Advisory URL: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2006-0206.html
Issue date: 2006-02-13
Updated on: 2006-02-13
Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux
CVE Names: CVE-2006-0301
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Summary:

Updated kdegraphics packages that resolve a security issue in kpdf are now
available.

This update has been rated as having important security impact by the Red
Hat Security Response Team.

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS version 4 - i386, ia64, ppc, s390, s390x, x86_64

3. Problem description:

The kdegraphics packages contain applications for the K Desktop Environment
including kpdf, a pdf file viewer.

A heap based buffer overflow bug was discovered in kpdf. An attacker could
construct a carefully crafted PDF file that could cause kpdf to crash or
possibly execute arbitrary code when opened. The Common Vulnerabilities and
Exposures project assigned the name CVE-2006-0301 to this issue.

Users of kpdf should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a
backported patch to resolve this issue.

4. Solution:

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

This update is available via Red Hat Network. To use Red Hat Network,
launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command:

up2date

This will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate
RPMs being upgraded on your system.
