---------------------------------------------------------------------

Product : Fedora Core 4
Name : xpdf
Version : 3.00
Release : 20.FC4.2
Summary : A PDF file viewer for the X Window System.
Description :
Xpdf is an X Window System based viewer for Portable Document Format
(PDF) files. Xpdf is a small and efficient program which uses
standard X fonts.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:

A flaw was discovered in Xpdf in that an attacker could
construct a carefully crafted PDF file that would cause
Xpdf to consume all available disk space in /tmp when
opened. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project
assigned the name CAN-2005-2097 to this issue.

Users of xpdf should upgrade to this updated package, which
contains a patch to resolve this issue.
