Sun(sm) Alert Notification
     * Sun Alert ID: 102972
     * Synopsis: Multiple Security Vulnerabilities in the Solaris Gnome
       PDF Viewer (gpdf(1)) may Allow a Denial of Service (DoS) Condition
       or Lead to Execution of Arbitrary Code
     * Category: Security
     * Product: Solaris 10 Operating System
     * BugIDs: 6374946
     * Avoidance: Patch, Workaround
     * State: Resolved
     * Date Released: 20-Jun-2007, 06-Aug-2007
     * Date Closed: 06-Aug-2007
     * Date Modified: 06-Aug-2007

1. Impact

   Multiple security vulnerabilities in the Solaris Gnome PDF Document
   Viewer (gpdf(1)) may allow a local or remote unprivileged user to
   cause the PDF Document Viewer application to crash or hang
   (potentially consuming excessive amounts of disk space, which may
   affect system performance), or may allow that user to execute
   arbitrary code with the privileges of the user opening a specially
   crafted PDF document with gpdf(1). The ability to crash or hang the
   gpdf(1) application or to cause it to consume excess disk space, are
   all types of Denial of Service (DoS).

   These issues are also referenced in the following documents:
     * CVE-2005-3191 at:
       http://www.cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2005-3191
     * CVE-2005-3192 at:
       http://www.cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2005-3192
     * CVE-2005-3193 at:
       http://www.cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2005-3193
     * CVE-2005-3624 at:
       http://www.cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2005-3624
     * CVE-2005-3625 at:
       http://www.cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2005-3625
     * CVE-2005-3626 at:
       http://www.cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2005-3626
     * CVE-2005-3627 at:
       http://www.cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2005-3627
     * CVE-2005-2097 at:
       http://www.cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2005-2097

2. Contributing Factors

   These issues can occur in the following releases:

   SPARC Platform
     * Solaris 10 without patch 120739-04

   x86 Platform
     * Solaris 10 without patch 120740-04

   Note: Solaris 9 and Solaris 8 do not ship Gnome PDF Viewer and are not
   affected by these issues.

   These issues only occur in Gnome PDF Viewer version 0.132 or earlier.
   To determine the version of gpdf(1) installed on the system, the
   following command can be run:
    $ gpdf --version
    Gnome gpdf 0.132


3. Symptoms

   Due to these vulnerabilities, the GNOME PDF Viewer may crash or hang
   (potentially consuming excessive disk space) while opening certain PDF
   documents.

   There are no predictable symptoms to indicate that these issues have
   been exploited to execute arbitrary code. 

4. Relief/Workaround

   Until the resolution patches can be applied, it may be possible to
   work around the described issues by not opening untrusted PDF files
   with the GNOME PDF Viewer.

5. Resolution

   This issue is addressed in the following releases:

   SPARC Platform
     * Solaris 10 with patch 120739-04 or later

   x86 Platform
     * Solaris 10 with patch 120740-04 or later
