Updated gpdf packages that fix several security issues are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.

This update has been rated as having important security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team.

gpdf is a GNOME-based viewer for Portable Document Format (PDF) files.

Alin Rad Pop discovered several flaws in the handling of PDF files. An attacker could create a malicious PDF file that would cause gpdf to crash, or potentially execute arbitrary code when opened.
(CVE-2007-4352, CVE-2007-5392, CVE-2007-5393)

Users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported patches to resolve these issues.

This package contains the latest stable upstream release of poppler.

New upstream version incorporate fixes for following security issues affecting xpdf code included in poppler: CVE-2007-4352, CVE-2007-5392, CVE-2007-5393

It also includes more headers in the -devel subpackage and fixes a problem in the -qt3 subpackage.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Updated cups packages that fix several security issues are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.

This update has been rated as having important security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team.

The Common UNIX Printing System (CUPS) provides a portable printing layer for UNIX(R) operating systems.

Alin Rad Pop discovered several flaws in the handling of PDF files. An attacker could create a malicious PDF file that would cause CUPS to crash or potentially execute arbitrary code when printed.
(CVE-2007-4352, CVE-2007-5392, CVE-2007-5393)

Alin Rad Pop discovered a flaw in in the way CUPS handles certain IPP tags. A remote attacker who is able to connect to the IPP TCP port could send a malicious request causing the CUPS daemon to crash.
(CVE-2007-4351)

A flaw was found in the way CUPS handled SSL negotiation. A remote attacker capable of connecting to the CUPS daemon could cause CUPS to crash. (CVE-2007-4045)

New xpdf packages are available for Slackware 9.1, 10.0, 10.1, 10.2, 11.0, 12.0, and -current. New poppler packages are available for Slackware 12.0 and -current. New koffice packages are available for Slackware 11.0, 12.0, and -current. New kdegraphics packages are available for Slackware 10.2, 11.0, 12.0, and -current. These updated packages address similar bugs which could be used to crash applications linked with poppler or that use code from xpdf through the use of a malformed PDF document. It is possible that a maliciously crafted document could cause code to be executed in the context of the user running the application processing the PDF. These advisories and CVE entries cover the bugs:
