2004-10-28
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Product : Fedora Core 2
Name : kdegraphics
Version : 3.2.2
Release : 1.1
Summary : K Desktop Environment - Graphics Applications
Description :
Graphics applications for the K Desktop Environment.
Includes:
kdvi (displays TeX .dvi files)

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:
A problem with PDF handling was discovered by Chris Evans, and has been fixed. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (www.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2004-0888 to this issue.
a number of buffer overflow bugs that affect libtiff have
been found. The kfax application contains a copy of the libtiff code used for parsing TIFF files and is therefore affected by these bugs. An attacker who has the ability to trick a user into opening a malicious TIFF file could cause kfax to crash or possibly execute arbitrary code. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2004-0803 to this issue.
