Debian DSA-1008-1 : kdegraphics - buffer overflow

high Nessus Plugin ID 22550

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.

Description

Marcelo Ricardo Leitner noticed that the current patch in DSA 932(CVE-2005-3627 ) for kpdf, the PDF viewer for KDE, does not fix all buffer overflows, still allowing an attacker to execute arbitrary code.

Solution

Upgrade the kpdf package.

The old stable distribution (woody) does not contain kpdf packages.

For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in version 3.3.2-2sarge4.
