"The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 4 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in
the RHSA-2008:0238 advisory.
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.
Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux security advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
