    <p>
    Xpdf and GPdf are PDF file viewers that run under the X Window System.
    Poppler is a PDF rendering library based on Xpdf code. The Common UNIX
    Printing System (CUPS) is a cross-platform print spooler. It makes use
    of Xpdf code to handle PDF files.

  <description>
    <p>
    infamous41md discovered that several Xpdf functions lack sufficient
    boundary checking, resulting in multiple exploitable buffer overflows.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    An attacker could entice a user to open a specially-crafted PDF file
    which would trigger an overflow, potentially resulting in execution of
    arbitrary code with the rights of the user running Xpdf, CUPS, GPdf or
    Poppler.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All Xpdf users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=app-text/xpdf-3.01-r2"</code>
    <p>
    All GPdf users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=app-text/gpdf-2.10.0-r2"</code>
    <p>
    All Poppler users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose app-text/poppler</code>
    <p>
    All CUPS users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=net-print/cups-1.1.23-r3"</code>
