Summary

The remote host is missing an update to kdegraphics announced via advisory DSA 1008-1. Marcelo Ricardo Leitner noticed that the current patch in DSA 932 (CVE-2005-3627) for kpdf, the PDF viewer for KDE, does not fix all buffer overflows, still allowing an attacker to execute arbitrary code. The old stable distribution (woody) does not contain kpdf packages.

Solution

Solution

For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in version 3.3.2-2sarge4. The unstable distribution (sid) is not affected by this problem. We recommend that you upgrade your kpdf package. https://secure1.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=DSA%201008-1
