    word processor. KPDF is a KDE-based PDF viewer included in the
    kdegraphics package.

  <description>
    <p>
    KPDF includes code from xpdf that is vulnerable to an integer overflow
    in the StreamPredictor::StreamPredictor() function.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted PDF
    file in KWord or KPDF that would exploit the integer overflow to cause
    a stack-based buffer overflow in the StreamPredictor::getNextLine()
    function, possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with
    the privileges of the user running the application.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All KOffice users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=app-office/koffice-1.6.3-r1&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-1.6.3-r1&quot;</code>
    <p>
    All KDE Graphics Libraries users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=kde-base/kdegraphics-3.5.7-r1&quot;</code>
    <p>
    All KPDF users should upgrade to the latest version:
