Multiple vulnerabilities were discovered and corrected in xpdf :

The Gfx::getPos function in the PDF parser in xpdf before 3.02pl5, allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via unknown vectors that trigger an uninitialized pointer dereference (CVE-2010-3702).

The FoFiType1::parse function in fofi/FoFiType1.cc in the PDF parser in xpdf before 3.02pl5, allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a PDF file with a crafted Type1 font that contains a negative array index, which bypasses input validation and which triggers memory corruption (CVE-2010-3704).

Packages for 2009.0 are provided as of the Extended Maintenance Program. Please visit this link to learn more:

The updated packages have been patched to correct these issues.

Multiple vulnerabilities were discovered and corrected in poppler :

The Gfx::getPos function in the PDF parser in poppler, allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via unknown vectors that trigger an uninitialized pointer dereference (CVE-2010-3702).

The PostScriptFunction::PostScriptFunction function in poppler/Function.cc in the PDF parser in poppler, allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a PDF file that triggers an uninitialized pointer dereference (CVE-2010-3703).

The FoFiType1::parse function in fofi/FoFiType1.cc in the PDF parser in poppler, allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a PDF file with a crafted Type1 font that contains a negative array index, which bypasses input validation and which triggers memory corruption (CVE-2010-3704).

The updated packages have been patched to correct these issues.

New poppler packages are available for Slackware 12.0, 12.1, 12.2, 13.0, 13.1, and -current to fix security issues.

Specially crafted PDF files could crash poppler or potentially even cause execution of arbitrary code (CVE-2010-3702 / CVE-2010-3704).
This has been fixed.

An uninitialized pointer use flaw was discovered in KPDF. An attacker could create a malicious PDF file that, when opened, would cause KPDF to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2010-3702)

An array index error was found in the way KPDF parsed PostScript Type 1 fonts embedded in PDF documents. An attacker could create a malicious PDF file that, when opened, would cause KPDF to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2010-3704)
