Updated xpdf packages that fix a security issue are now available for Red
Hat Enterprise Linux 4.
This update has been rated as having important security impact by the Red
Hat Security Response Team.
Xpdf is an X Window System-based viewer for Portable Document Format (PDF)
files.
Kees Cook discovered a flaw in the way xpdf displayed malformed fonts
embedded in PDF files. An attacker could create a malicious PDF file that
would cause xpdf to crash, or, potentially, execute arbitrary code when
opened. (CVE-2008-1693)
Users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain
backported patches to resolve this issue.
