<p>
Poppler is a cross-platform PDF rendering library originally based on
Xpdf.
</p>
</background>
<description>
<p>
Poppler and Xpdf are vulnerable to an integer overflow in the
StreamPredictor::StreamPredictor function, and a stack overflow in the
StreamPredictor::getNextLine function. The original vulnerability was
discovered by Maurycy Prodeus. Note: Gentoo's version of Xpdf is
patched to use the Poppler library, so the update to Poppler will also
fix Xpdf.
</p>
</description>
<impact type="normal">
<p>
By enticing a user to view a specially crafted program with a
Poppler-based PDF viewer such as Gentoo's Xpdf, Epdfview, or Evince, a
remote attacker could cause an overflow, potentially 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 Poppler users should upgrade to the latest version of Poppler:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=app-text/poppler-0.5.4-r2"</code>
