Mandriva Linux Security Advisory MDKSA-2006:030
http://www.mandriva.com/security/
_______________________________________________________________________

Package : poppler
Date : February 2, 2006
Affected: 2006.0
_______________________________________________________________________

Problem Description:

Heap-based buffer overflow in Splash.cc in xpdf allows attackers to
cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via
crafted splash images that produce certain values that exceed the width
or height of the associated bitmap.

Poppler uses a copy of the xpdf code and as such has the same issues.

The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.
