Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.56299
Category:Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:Ubuntu USN-249-1 (kdegraphics)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to kdegraphics
announced via advisory USN-249-1.

A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:

Ubuntu 4.10 (Warty Warthog)
Ubuntu 5.04 (Hoary Hedgehog)
Ubuntu 5.10 (Breezy Badger)

The following packages are affected:

kpdf
libpoppler0c2
xpdf-reader
xpdf-utils

The splash image handler in xpdf did not check the validity of
coordinates. By tricking a user into opening a specially crafted PDF
file, an attacker could exploit this to trigger a buffer overflow
which could lead to arbitrary code execution with the privileges of
the user.

The poppler library and kpdf also contain xpdf code, and thus are
affected by the same vulnerability.

Solution:
The problem can be corrected by upgrading the affected package to
the following versions:

Ubuntu 4.10:
xpdf: 3.00-8ubuntu1.11

Ubuntu 5.04:
xpdf: 3.00-11ubuntu3.7
kpdf: 4:3.4.0-0ubuntu3.4

Ubuntu 5.10:
libpoppler0c2: 0.4.2-0ubuntu6.6
kpdf: 4:3.4.3-0ubuntu2.3

In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the
necessary changes.
