-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 [slackware-security] xpdf/poppler/koffice/kdegraphics (SSA:2007-316-01) New xpdf packages are available for Slackware 9.1, 10.0, 10.1, 10.2, 11.0, 12.0, and -current. New poppler packages are available for Slackware 12.0 and -current. New koffice packages are available for Slackware 11.0, 12.0, and -current. New kdegraphics packages are available for Slackware 10.2, 11.0, 12.0, and -current.

It is possible that a maliciously crafted document could cause code to be executed in the context of the user running the application processing the PDF. These advisories and CVE entries cover the bugs: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-3387 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-4352 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-5392 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-5393 http://www.kde.org/info/security/advisory-20071107-1.txt Here are the details from the Slackware 12.0 ChangeLog: +--------------------------+ patches/packages/kdegraphics-3.5.7-i486-2_slack12.0.tgz: Patched xpdf related bugs.

Give slackware.osuosl.org a try. This is another primary FTP site for Slackware that can be considerably faster than downloading directly from ftp.slackware.com. Thanks to the friendly folks at the OSU Open Source Lab (http://osuosl.org) for donating additional FTP and rsync hosting to the Slackware project! :-) Also see the "Get Slack" section on http://slackware.com for additional mirror sites near you.
