kpdf, the KDE pdf viewer, shares code with xpdf. xpdf contains a heap based buffer overflow in the splash rasterizer engine that can crash kpdf or even execute arbitrary code. Users impacted by these issues, should update to this new package release.
Heap-based buffer overflow in Splash.cc in poppler, allows attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via crafted splash images that produce certain values that exceed the width or height of the associated bitmap.

This update fixes a remotely exploitable denial of service attack in the icmp networking code (CVE-2006-0454). An information leak has also been fixed (CVE-2006-0095), and some debugging patches that had accidentally been left applied in the previous update have been removed, restoring the functionality of the 'quiet' argument.
This update fixes several vulnerabilities in the unzip utility.
This release backports some bugfixes and enhancements from the current devel branch.
Mozilla Firefox is an open source Web browser. Igor Bukanov discovered a bug in the way Firefox's JavaScript interpreter dereferences objects. If a user visits a malicious web page, Firefox could crash or execute arbitrary code as the user running Firefox. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project assigned the name CVE-2006-0292 to this issue. moz_bug_r_a4 discovered a bug in Firefox's XULDocument.persist() function. A malicious web page could inject arbitrary RDF data into a user's localstore.rdf file, which can cause Firefox to execute arbitrary JavaScript when a user runs Firefox. (CVE-2006-0296) A denial of service bug was found in the way Firefox saves history information. If a user visits a web page with a very long title, it is possible Firefox will crash or take a very long time to start the next time it is run. (CVE-2005-4134)
