Package        : xpdf
Problem type   : local exploit
Debian-specific: no

xpdf as distributed in Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 suffered from two
problems: 1. creation of temporary files was not done safely which
made xpdf vulnerable to a symlink attack.  2. when handling URLs in
documents no checking was done for shell metacharacters before
starting the browser. This makes it possible to construct a document
which cause xpdf to run arbitrary commands when the user views an URL.

Both problems have been fixed in version 0.90-7, and we recommend you
upgrade your xpdf package immediately.

wget url
        will fetch the file for you
dpkg -i file.deb
        will install the referenced file.


Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 alias potato
- ---------------------------------

  Potato was released for the alpha, arm, i386, m68k, powerpc and
  sparc architectures. At this moment no fixed package is available
  for arm machines.
