Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.59095
Category:Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:Ubuntu USN-410-1 (poppler)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to poppler
announced via advisory USN-410-1.

A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:

Ubuntu 5.10
Ubuntu 6.06 LTS
Ubuntu 6.10

This advisory also applies to the corresponding versions of
Kubuntu, Edubuntu, and Xubuntu.

Details follow:

The poppler PDF loader library did not limit the recursion depth of
the page model tree. By tricking a user into opening a specially
crafter PDF file, this could be exploited to trigger an infinite loop
and eventually crash an application that uses this library.

kpdf in Ubuntu 5.10, and KOffice in all Ubuntu releases contains a
copy of this code and thus is affected as well.

Solution:
The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the
following package versions:

Ubuntu 5.10:
kpdf 4:3.4.3-0ubuntu2.6
kword 1:1.4.1-0ubuntu7.5
libpoppler0c2 0.4.2-0ubuntu6.8

Ubuntu 6.06 LTS:
kword 1:1.5.0-0ubuntu9.1
libpoppler1 0.5.1-0ubuntu7.1

Ubuntu 6.10:
kword 1:1.5.2-0ubuntu2.1
libpoppler1 0.5.4-0ubuntu4.1

In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the
necessary changes.
