CentOS Errata and Security Advisory CESA-2008:0238
The kdegraphics packages contain applications for the K Desktop
Environment, including kpdf, a PDF file viewer.
Kees Cook discovered a flaw in the way kpdf displayed malformed fonts
embedded in PDF files. An attacker could create a malicious PDF file that
would cause kpdf to crash, or, potentially, execute arbitrary code when
opened. (CVE-2008-1693)
All kdegraphics users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages,
which contain backported patches to resolve this issue.
