The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 4 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2007:1024 advisory.

  - xpdf memory corruption in DCTStream::readProgressiveDataUnit() (CVE-2007-4352)

  - xpdf buffer overflow in DCTStream::reset() (CVE-2007-5392)

  - xpdf buffer overflow in CCITTFaxStream::lookChar() (CVE-2007-5393)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

A buffer overflow in xpdf could be exploited by attackers to potentially execute arbitrary code (CVE-2007-4352, CVE-2007-5392, CVE-2007-5393).

A buffer overflow in the xpdf code contained in cups could be exploited by attackers to potentially execute arbitrary code (CVE-2007-4352, CVE-2007-5392, CVE-2007-5393).

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200711-22 (Poppler, KDE: User-assisted execution of arbitrary code)

    Alin Rad Pop (Secunia Research) discovered several vulnerabilities in     the 'Stream.cc' file of Xpdf: An integer overflow in the     DCTStream::reset() method and a boundary error in the     CCITTFaxStream::lookChar() method, both leading to heap-based buffer     overflows (CVE-2007-5392, CVE-2007-5393). He also discovered a boundary     checking error in the DCTStream::readProgressiveDataUnit() method     causing memory corruption (CVE-2007-4352). Note: Gentoo's version of     Xpdf is patched to use the Poppler library, so the update to Poppler     will also fix Xpdf.
  Impact :

    By enticing a user to view or process a specially crafted PDF file with     KWord or KPDF or a Poppler-based program such as Gentoo's viewers Xpdf,     ePDFView, and Evince or the CUPS printing system, a remote attacker     could cause an overflow, potentially resulting in the execution of     arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

Alin Rad Pop found several flaws in how PDF files are handled in cups.
An attacker could create a malicious PDF file that would cause cups to crash or potentially execute arbitrary code when opened.

The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.
