## Description

Multiple integer overflows in xpdf 2.0 and 3.0, and other packages that use
xpdf code such as CUPS, gpdf, and kdegraphics, allow remote attackers to
cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code, a
different set of vulnerabilities than those identified by CVE-2004-0889.
