Secunia reports :

Some vulnerabilities have been reported in Xpdf, which can be exploited by malicious people to potentially compromise a user's system.

A boundary error exists when decoding JBIG2 symbol dictionary segments. This can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow and potentially execute arbitrary code.

Multiple integer overflows in the JBIG2 decoder can be exploited to potentially execute arbitrary code.

Multiple boundary errors in the JBIG2 decoder can be exploited to cause buffer overflows and potentially execute arbitrary code.

Multiple errors in the JBIG2 decoder can be exploited can be exploited to free arbitrary memory and potentially execute arbitrary code.

Multiple unspecified input validation errors in the JBIG2 decoder can be exploited to potentially execute arbitrary code.

Several vulnerabilities have been identified in xpdf, a suite of tools for viewing and converting Portable Document Format (PDF) files.

The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems :

  - CVE-2009-0146     Multiple buffer overflows in the JBIG2 decoder in Xpdf     3.02pl2 and earlier, CUPS 1.3.9 and earlier, and other     products allow remote attackers to cause a denial of     service (crash) via a crafted PDF file, related to (1)     JBIG2SymbolDict::setBitmap and (2)     JBIG2Stream::readSymbolDictSeg.

  - CVE-2009-0147     Multiple integer overflows in the JBIG2 decoder in Xpdf     3.02pl2 and earlier, CUPS 1.3.9 and earlier, and other     products allow remote attackers to cause a denial of     service (crash) via a crafted PDF file, related to (1)     JBIG2Stream::readSymbolDictSeg, (2)     JBIG2Stream::readSymbolDictSeg, and (3)     JBIG2Stream::readGenericBitmap.
