CAN-2005-2097
1. Systems affected:
KDE 3.3.1 up to including KDE 3.4.1.
2. Overview:
kpdf, the KDE pdf viewer, shares code with xpdf. xpdf contains
a vulnerability that causes it to write a file in $TMPDIR with
almost infinite size, which can severly impact system performance.
3. Impact:
Remotely supplied pdf files can be used to fill up all available
disk space when opened with kpdf.
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 KDE 3.3.1 is available from
ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/security_patches :
