KPdf is a KDE-based PDF viewer included in the kdegraphics package.
KWord is a KDE-based word processor also included in the koffice
package.

<description>
<p>
KPdf and KWord both include Xpdf code to handle PDF files. This Xpdf
code is vulnerable to several heap overflows (GLSA 200512-08) as well
as several buffer and integer overflows discovered by Chris Evans
(CESA-2005-003).
</p>
</description>
<impact type="normal">
<p>
An attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted PDF file
with Kpdf or KWord, potentially resulting in the execution of arbitrary
code with the rights of the user running the affected application.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>
There is no known workaround at this time.
</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>
All kdegraphics users should upgrade to the latest version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=kde-base/kdegraphics-3.4.3-r3&quot;</code>
<p>
All Kpdf users should upgrade to the latest version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=kde-base/kpdf-3.4.3-r3&quot;</code>
<p>
All KOffice users should upgrade to the latest version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=app-office/koffice-1.4.2-r6&quot;</code>
<p>
All KWord users should upgrade to the latest version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=app-office/kword-1.4.2-r6&quot;</code>
