GLSA-200710-08 : KOffice, KWord, KPDF, KDE Graphics Libraries: Stack-based buffer overflow

medium Nessus Plugin ID 26979

Synopsis

The remote Gentoo host is missing one or more security-related patches.

Description

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200710-08 (KOffice, KWord, KPDF, KDE Graphics Libraries: Stack-based buffer overflow)

 KPDF includes code from xpdf that is vulnerable to an integer overflow in the StreamPredictor::StreamPredictor() function.
 Impact :

 A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted PDF file in KWord or KPDF that would exploit the integer overflow to cause a stack-based buffer overflow in the StreamPredictor::getNextLine() function, possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application.
 Workaround :

 There is no known workaround at this time.

Solution

All KOffice users should upgrade to the latest version:
 # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose '>=app-office/koffice-1.6.3-r1' All KWord users should upgrade to the latest version:
 # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose '>=app-office/kword-1.6.3-r1' All KDE Graphics Libraries users should upgrade to the latest version:
 # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose '>=kde-base/kdegraphics-3.5.7-r1' All KPDF users should upgrade to the latest version:
 # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose '>=kde-base/kpdf-3.5.7-r1'
