The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200601-02 (KPdf, KWord: Multiple overflows in included Xpdf code)

    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).
  Impact :

    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.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 4 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2005:840 advisory.

    The xpdf package is an X Window System-based viewer for Portable Document     Format (PDF) files.

    Several flaws were discovered in Xpdf.  An attacker could construct a     carefully crafted PDF file that could cause Xpdf to crash or possibly     execute arbitrary code when opened.  The Common Vulnerabilities and     Exposures project assigned the names CVE-2005-3191, CVE-2005-3192, and     CVE-2005-3193 to these issues.

    Users of Xpdf should upgrade to this updated package, which contains a     backported patch to resolve these issues.

    Red Hat would like to thank Derek B. Noonburg for reporting this issue and     providing a patch.
