New xpdf, tetex-bin are available for Ubuntu Linux 4.10

==========================================================
Ubuntu Security Notice USN-48-1 December 23, 2004
xpdf, tetex-bin vulnerabilities
CAN-2004-1125
==========================================================

A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:

Ubuntu 4.10 (Warty Warthog)

The following packages are affected:

tetex-bin
xpdf-reader
xpdf-utils

The problem can be corrected by upgrading the affected package to version 2.0.2-21ubuntu0.3 (tetex-bin) and 3.00-8ubuntu1.3 (xpdf-reader and xpdf-utils). In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the necessary changes.

Details follow:

A potential buffer overflow has been found in the xpdf viewer. An insufficient input validation could be exploited by an attacker providing a specially crafted PDF file which, when processed by xpdf, could result in abnormal program termination or the execution of attacker supplied program code with the user's privileges.

The tetex-bin package contains the affected xpdf code to generate PDF output and process included PDF files, thus is vulnerable as well.
