Topic

An updated gpdf package that fixes multiple security issues is now

This update has been rated as having important security impact by the Red
Hat Security Response Team.

Description

GPdf is a viewer for Portable Document Format (PDF) files.

Multiple integer overflow flaws were found in GPdf. An attacker could
create a malicious PDF file that would cause GPdf to crash or, potentially,
execute arbitrary code when opened. (CVE-2009-0791, CVE-2009-1188,
CVE-2009-3604, CVE-2009-3608, CVE-2009-3609)

Red Hat would like to thank Adam Zabrocki for reporting the CVE-2009-3604
issue, and Chris Rohlf for reporting the CVE-2009-3608 issue.

Users are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which contains a
backported patch to correct these issues.
