Synopsis
========

New integer overflows were discovered in Xpdf, potentially resulting in
the execution of arbitrary code. GPdf includes Xpdf code and therefore
is vulnerable to the same issues.

Background
==========

Xpdf is an open source viewer for Portable Document Format (PDF) files.
GPdf is a Gnome-based PDF viewer that includes some Xpdf code.

Affected packages
=================

    -------------------------------------------------------------------
     Package        /  Vulnerable  /                        Unaffected
    -------------------------------------------------------------------
  1  app-text/xpdf     <= 3.00-r6                           >= 3.00-r7
  2  app-text/gpdf      <= 2.8.1                           >= 2.8.1-r1
    -------------------------------------------------------------------
     2 affected packages on all of their supported architectures.
    -------------------------------------------------------------------


Description
===========

A new integer overflow issue was discovered in Xpdf's Gfx::doImage()
function.

Impact
======

An attacker could entice an user to open a specially-crafted PDF file,
potentially resulting in execution of arbitrary code with the rights of
the user running Xpdf or GPdf.

Workaround
==========

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution
==========

All Xpdf users should upgrade to the latest version:

    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-text/xpdf-3.00-r7"


All GPdf users should also upgrade to the latest version:

    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-text/gpdf-2.8.1-r1"
