Insight

Insight

It was discovered that an integer overflow in xpdf PDF viewer may lead to the execution of arbitrary code if a malformed PDF file is opened. gpdf includes a copy of the xpdf code and requires an update as well. For the oldstable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in version 2.8.2-1.2sarge6. The stable distribution (etch) no longer contains gpdf. The unstable distribution (sid) no longer contains gpdf. We recommend that you upgrade your gpdf packages.
