Mandriva Linux Security Advisory 2010-229

Posted Nov 12, 2010

Authored by Mandriva | Site mandriva.com

Mandriva Linux Security Advisory 2010-229 - The Gfx::getPos function in the PDF parser in kdegraphics, allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service via unknown vectors that trigger an uninitialized pointer dereference. The FoFiType1::parse function in fofi/FoFiType1.cc in the PDF parser in kdegraphics, allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via a PDF file with a crafted Type1 font that contains a negative array index, which bypasses input validation and which triggers memory corruption. The updated packages have been patched to correct these issues.
