                 Mandrakelinux Security Update Advisory
 _______________________________________________________________________

 Package name:           gpdf
 Advisory ID:            MDKSA-2005:016
 Date:                   January 25th, 2005

 Affected versions:      10.0, 10.1, Corporate Server 3.0
 ______________________________________________________________________

 Problem Description:

 A buffer overflow vulnerability was discovered in the xpdf PDF          
 code, which could allow for arbitrary code execution as the user 
 viewing a PDF file. The vulnerability exists due to insufficient bounds
 checking while processing a PDF file that provides malicious values in         
 
 the /Encrypt /Length tag. Gpdf uses xpdf code and is susceptible to the
 same vulnerability.
 
 The updated packages have been patched to prevent these problems.
