CentOS Errata and Security Advisory CESA-2006:0206

The kdegraphics packages contain applications for the K Desktop Environment
including kpdf, a pdf file viewer.

A heap based buffer overflow bug was discovered in kpdf. An attacker could
construct a carefully crafted PDF file that could cause kpdf to crash or
possibly execute arbitrary code when opened. The Common Vulnerabilities and
Exposures project assigned the name CVE-2006-0301 to this issue.

Users of kpdf should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a
backported patch to resolve this issue.
