Mandrake Linux Security Update Advisory
________________________________________________________________________
Package name: xpdf
Advisory ID: MDKSA-2003:071-1
Date: July 23rd, 2003
Original Advisory Date: June 27th, 2003
Affected versions: 9.0, 9.1, Corporate Server 2.1
________________________________________________________________________
Problem Description:
Martyn Gilmore discovered flaws in various PDF viewers, including xpdf.
An attacker could place malicious external hyperlinks in a document
that, if followed, could execute arbitary shell commands with the
privileges of the person viewing the PDF document.
Update:
New packages are available as the previous patches that had been
applied did not correct all possible ways of exploiting this issue.
