+ Xpdf is a PDF file viewer that runs under the X Window System. +

+
+ +

+ Erik Wallin reported that Gentoo's Xpdf attempts to read the "xpdfrc" + file from the current working directory if it cannot find a ".xpdfrc" + file in the user's home directory. This is caused by a missing + definition of the SYSTEM_XPDFRC macro when compiling a repackaged + version of Xpdf. +

+
+ +

+ A local attacker could entice a user to run "xpdf" from a directory + containing a specially crafted "xpdfrc" file, resulting in the + execution of arbitrary code when attempting to, e.g., print a file. +

+
+ +

+ Do not run Xpdf from untrusted working directories. +

+
+ +

+ All Xpdf users should upgrade to the latest version: +

+ + # emerge --sync + # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-text/xpdf-3.02-r2" +
