Description Mark J. Cox 2005-07-28 13:29:35 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #163918 - See that bug for
a reproducer +++

A broken PDF file is will create a file in /tmp and continue to fill it until
the filesystem is full.

This seems to affect the cups pdftops filter causing it not to fill disk space
but instead to crash; the crash hasn't yet been investigated in detail.
Comment 1 Mark J. Cox 2005-07-28 13:32:01 UTC 
Also may affect RHEL3
No embargo date yet
Comment 2 Tim Waugh 2005-07-28 14:01:05 UTC 
Crash caused by faulting while writing out of bounds.
Comment 4 Tim Waugh 2005-08-01 13:29:37 UTC 
Do we have an embargo date yet?

Also, what is the security severity of this? "Important"?
Comment 5 Josh Bressers 2005-08-01 13:34:38 UTC 
There is no embargo date yet, and yes, the severity is important.

We keep the severity of issues in the status whiteboard field of bugzilla.
Comment 9 Josh Bressers 2005-08-09 15:26:05 UTC 
Lifting embargo
