Erik Wallin reported that Gentoo's Xpdf attempts to read the "xpdfrc"
|
|
file from the current working directory if it cannot find a ".xpdfrc"
|
|
file in the user's home directory. This is caused by a missing
|
|
definition of the SYSTEM_XPDFRC macro when compiling a repackaged
|
|
version of Xpdf.

|
<impact type="normal">
|
|
<p>
|
|
A local attacker could entice a user to run "xpdf" from a directory
|
|
containing a specially crafted "xpdfrc" file, resulting in the
|
|
execution of arbitrary code when attempting to, e.g., print a file.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</impact>
|
|
<workaround>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Do not run Xpdf from untrusted working directories.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</workaround>
|
|
<resolution>
|
|
<p>
|
|
All Xpdf users should upgrade to the latest version:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<code>
|
|
# emerge --sync
|
|
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-text/xpdf-3.02-r2"</code>
