Multiple integer overflows in xpdf 2.0 and 3.0, and other packages that use xpdf code such as CUPS, gpdf, and kdegraphics, allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code, a different set of vulnerabilities than those identified by CVE-2004-0889.

Security readout for executives and security teams

A malicious PDF could crash PDF-handling software or possibly run code where old xpdf code is present. Risk is mainly for legacy systems still running xpdf 2.0/3.0 or old packages embedding it, including CUPS, gpdf, and kdegraphics. No active exploitation signal is supplied. Likely exposure is limited to legacy systems or unmaintained images that still include affected xpdf-derived code. Check PDF viewers, print services, desktop packages, and server workflows that ingest PDFs, especially old Linux distributions covered by the referenced advisories. Prioritize this for legacy estate review rather than emergency response. The impact could be serious on exposed PDF-processing systems, but the evidence supplied is old, lacks CVSS, and does not show known active exploitation. Mitigation focus: Identify systems with xpdf 2.0, xpdf 3.0, CUPS, gpdf, or kdegraphics packages.; Apply the relevant vendor security updates from Red Hat, Ubuntu, Debian, Gentoo, Mandrake, Fedora, or SUSE.; Remove unsupported legacy PDF-processing packages where patching is not possible..
