+ <title>Xpdf, GPdf: Stack overflow in Decrypt::makeFileKey2</title>
+ <synopsis>
+ A stack overflow was discovered in Xpdf, potentially resulting in the
+ execution of arbitrary code. GPdf includes Xpdf code and therefore is
+ vulnerable to the same issue.

+ Xpdf is an open source viewer for Portable Document Format (PDF)
+ files. GPdf is a Gnome-based PDF viewer that includes some Xpdf code.

+ <description>
+ <p>
+ iDEFENSE reports that the Decrypt::makeFileKey2 function in Xpdf's
+ Decrypt.cc insufficiently checks boundaries when processing /Encrypt
+ /Length tags in PDF files.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ An attacker could entice an user to open a specially-crafted PDF
+ file which would trigger a stack overflow, potentially resulting in
+ execution of arbitrary code with the rights of the user running Xpdf or
+ GPdf.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All Xpdf users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=app-text/xpdf-3.00-r8&quot;</code>
+ <p>
+ All GPdf users should also upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=app-text/gpdf-2.8.2&quot;</code>
