2.1 LOW — AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P

Description

xpdf and kpdf do not properly validate the "loca" table in PDF files, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (disk consumption and hang) via a PDF file with a "broken" loca table, which causes a large temporary file to be created when xpdf attempts to reconstruct the information.

Affected configurations

• kde kpdf • xpdf xpdf 3.0 • xpdf xpdf 3.0 pl2 • xpdf xpdf 3.0 pl3
