1. Systems affected:
KOffice 1.3 up to including KOffice 1.3.5

The KOffice PDF Import Filter shares code with xpdf. xpdf contains
a buffer overflow that can be triggered by a specially crafted
PDF file.

Remotely supplied pdf files can be used to execute arbitrary
code on the client machine when the user opens such file in
KOffice.
4. Solution:
Source code patches have been made available which fix these
vulnerabilities. Contact your OS vendor / binary package provider
for information about how to obtain updated binary packages.
5. Patch:
Patch for KOffice 1.3.5 is available from
ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/security_patches :
0e6194cbfe3f6d3b3c848c2c76ef5bfb post-1.3.5-koffice.diff
6. Time line and credits:

19/01/2005 Patches from xpdf 3.00pl3 applied to KDE CVS and patches
prepared.
