Integer overflow in pdftops filter in CUPS in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 and 4, when running on 64-bit platforms, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted PDF file. NOTE: this issue is due to an incomplete fix for CVE-2004-0888.
The product performs a calculation that can produce an integer overflow or wraparound when the logic assumes that the resulting value will always be larger than the original value. This occurs when an integer value is incremented to a value that is too large to store in the associated representation. When this occurs, the value may become a very small or negative number.
