Web hosts are companies that provide space on a server they own for use by their clients as well as providing Internet connectivity, typically in a data center. Web hosts can also provide data center space and connectivity to the Internet for servers they do not own to be located in their data center, called colocation. more...

[USN-48-1] xpdf, tetex-bin vulnerabilities: msg#00012

linux.ubuntu.security.announce

Subject: [USN-48-1] xpdf, tetex-bin vulnerabilities

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