Description Tim Waugh 2005-02-08 13:44:49 UTC 
*** This bug has been split off bug 135378 ***

This issue affects RHEL4 as well.

CUPS contains a stripped down version of xpdf.  Recent issues have
been found in xpdf 2 that can result in integer overflows causing bad
memory allocation or out of bounds writes.  It's not expected these
can cause arbitrary code execution, more likely to be DoS crashers.
