The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems :

  - CVE-2009-0146     Multiple buffer overflows in the JBIG2 decoder in kpdf     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 kpdf     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.
