Detail

A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:

Ubuntu 5.04 (Hoary Hedgehog) Ubuntu 5.10 (Breezy Badger)

The following packages are affected:

kpdf kword

The problem can be corrected by upgrading the affected package to the following versions:

Ubuntu 5.04:
kpdf: 1:1.3.5-2ubuntu1.3
kword: 4:3.4.0-0ubuntu3.3

Ubuntu 5.10:
libpoppler0c2: 1:1.4.1-0ubuntu7.2
kword: 4:3.4.3-0ubuntu2.2

After a standard system upgrade you need to restart kpdf and kword to effect the necessary changes.

Details follow:

USN-236-1 fixed several vulnerabilities in xpdf. kpdf and kword contain copies of xpdf code and are thus vulnerable to the same issues.

For reference, this is the original advisory:

Chris Evans discovered several integer overflows in the XPDF code,
which is present in xpdf, the Poppler library, and tetex-bin. By
tricking an user into opening a specially crafted PDF file, an
attacker could exploit this to execute arbitrary code with the
privileges of the application that processes the document.
