    KPdf is a KDE-based PDF viewer included in the kdegraphics package.
    KWord is a KDE-based word processor also included in the koffice
    package.

  <description>
    <p>
    KPdf and KWord both include Xpdf code to handle PDF files. This Xpdf
    code is vulnerable to several heap overflows (GLSA 200512-08) as well
    as several buffer and integer overflows discovered by Chris Evans
    (CESA-2005-003).
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    An attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted PDF file
    with Kpdf or KWord, potentially resulting in the execution of arbitrary
    code with the rights of the user running the affected application.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All kdegraphics users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=kde-base/kdegraphics-3.4.3-r3&quot;</code>
    <p>
    All Kpdf users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=kde-base/kpdf-3.4.3-r3&quot;</code>
    <p>
    All KOffice users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=app-office/koffice-1.4.2-r6&quot;</code>
    <p>
    All KWord users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=app-office/kword-1.4.2-r6&quot;</code>
