<title>Xpdf, GPdf: Stack overflow in Decrypt::makeFileKey2</title>

execution of arbitrary code. GPdf includes Xpdf code and therefore is
vulnerable to the same issue.

iDEFENSE reports that the Decrypt::makeFileKey2 function in Xpdf's
Decrypt.cc insufficiently checks boundaries when processing /Encrypt
/Length tags in PDF files.
</p>
</description>
<impact type="normal">
<p>
An attacker could entice an user to open a specially-crafted PDF
file which would trigger a stack overflow, potentially resulting in
execution of arbitrary code with the rights of the user running Xpdf or
GPdf.
</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 &quot;&gt;=app-text/xpdf-3.00-r8&quot;</code>
<p>
All GPdf users should also upgrade to the latest version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=app-text/gpdf-2.8.2&quot;</code>
