Synopsis

The remote Mandrake Linux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

A buffer overflow vulnerability was discovered in the xpdf PDF code, which could allow for arbitrary code execution as the user viewing a PDF file. The vulnerability exists due to insufficient bounds checking while processing a PDF file that provides malicious values in the /Encrypt /Length tag. Kdegraphics uses xpdf code and is susceptible to the same vulnerability.

The updated packages have been patched to prevent these problems.
