  <description>
    <p>
    Dirk Mueller has reported a vulnerability in Xpdf. It is caused by
    a missing boundary check in the splash rasterizer engine when handling
    PDF splash images with overly large dimensions.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    By sending a specially crafted PDF file to a victim, an attacker
    could cause an overflow, potentially resulting in the execution of
    arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All Xpdf users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=app-text/xpdf-3.01-r7&quot;</code>
    <p>
    All Poppler users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=app-text/poppler-0.5.0-r4&quot;</code>
