Chris Evans discovered several integer overflows in xpdf, that are also present in tetex-bin, binary files for the teTeX distribution, which can be exploited remotely by a specially crafted PDF document and lead to the execution of arbitrary code.
For the stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in version 20011202-7.3.
For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in version 2.0.2-23.
