    ===========================================================
    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.
