Package : poppler
Vulnerability : several
Problem type : local(remote)
Debian-specific: no
CVE Id(s) : CVE-2009-0755 CVE-2009-3903 CVE-2009-3904 CVE-2009-3905 CVE-2009-3906 CVE-2009-3907 CVE-2009-3908 CVE-2009-3909 CVE-2009-3938

Several integer overflows, buffer overflows and memory allocation
errors were discovered in the Poppler PDF rendering library, which may
lead to denial of service or the execution of arbitrary code if a user
is tricked into opening a malformed PDF document.

For the stable distribution (lenny), these problems have been fixed in
version 0.8.7-3.

An update for the old stable distribution (etch) will be issued soon as
version 0.4.5-5.1etch4.

For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems will be fixed soon.

We recommend that you upgrade your poppler packages.

Upgrade instructions
- --------------------

wget url
will fetch the file for you
dpkg -i file.deb
will install the referenced file.

If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for
sources.list as given below:

apt-get update
will update the internal database
apt-get upgrade
will install corrected packages

You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the
footer to the proper configuration.
