(CVE-2009-0147,<br>CVE-2009-1179)<br>Multiple buffer overflow flaws were found in KPDF's JBIG2 decoder. An<br>attacker could create a malicious PDF file that would cause KPDF to crash<br>or, potentially, execute arbitrary code when opened. (CVE-2009-0146,<br>CVE-2009-1182)<br>Multiple flaws were found in KPDF's JBIG2 decoder that could lead to the<br>freeing of arbitrary memory. An attacker could create a malicious PDF file<br>that would cause KPDF to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code when<br>opened. (CVE-2009-0166, CVE-2009-1180)<br>Multiple input validation flaws were found in KPDF's JBIG2 decoder. An<br>attacker could create a malicious PDF file that would cause KPDF to crash<br>or, potentially, execute arbitrary code when opened. (CVE-2009-0800)<br>Multiple denial of service flaws were found in KPDF's JBIG2 decoder. An<br>attacker could create a malicious PDF that would cause KPDF to crash when<br>opened.
