The xpdf package is an X Window System-based viewer for Portable Document
Format (PDF) files.
A flaw was discovered in Xpdf in that an attacker could construct a
carefully crafted PDF file that would cause Xpdf to consume all available
disk space in /tmp when opened. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures
project assigned the name CAN-2005-2097 to this issue.
Note this issue does not affect the version of Xpdf in Red Hat Enterprise
Linux 3 or 2.1.
Users of xpdf should upgrade to this updated package, which contains a
backported patch to resolve this issue.
