1. Systems affected:

        KDE 3.2.0 up to including KDE 3.5.0
	KOffice 1.3.0 up to including KOffice 1.4.2


2. Overview:

        kpdf, the KDE pdf viewer, shares code with xpdf. xpdf contains
        multiple integer overflow vulnerabilities that allow specially
	crafted pdf files, when opened, to overflow a heap allocated
	buffer and execute arbitrary code. 


3. Impact:

        Remotely supplied pdf files can be used to execute arbitrary
	code on the client machine.


4. Solution:

	updates and they will be announced and published under
