Multiple vulnerabilities were identified in Xpdf, which could be exploited by remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands. These flaws are due to unspecified buffer and integer overflow errors in "Stream.cc", "JPXStream.cc" and "JBIG2Stream.cc", which could be exploited by remote attackers to compromise a vulnerable system by convincing a user to open a specially crafted PDF file.
