Synopsis: Important: poppler security and bug fix update

Advisory ID: RHSA-2009:1504-01

Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux

Advisory URL: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2009-1504.html

=====================================================================

 

1. Summary:

 

Updated poppler packages that fix multiple security issues and a bug are

now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

 

This update has been rated as having important security impact by the Red

Hat Security Response Team.

 

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

 

RHEL Desktop Workstation (v. 5 client) - i386, x86_64

Red Hat Enterprise Linux (v. 5 server) - i386, ia64, ppc, s390x, x86_64

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop (v. 5 client) - i386, x86_64

 

3. Description:

 

Poppler is a Portable Document Format (PDF) rendering library, used by

applications such as Evince.

 

Multiple integer overflow flaws were found in poppler. An attacker could

create a malicious PDF file that would cause applications that use poppler

(such as Evince) to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code when

opened. (CVE-2009-3603, CVE-2009-3608, CVE-2009-3609)

 

Red Hat would like to thank Chris Rohlf for reporting the CVE-2009-3608

issue.

 

This update also corrects a regression introduced in the previous poppler

security update, RHSA-2009:0480, that prevented poppler from rendering

certain PDF documents correctly. (BZ#528147)

 

Users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain

backported patches to resolve these issues.

 

4. Solution:

 

Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released

errata relevant to your system have been applied.
