Looks like the original patch introduced in GLSA 200410-30 and bug 68558 may not be sufficient...

KDE team : We might have to repatch this :/

The reported link doesn't works for me.
This one works
ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/stable/koffice-1.3.4/src/patch/koffice_1_3_4_xpdf_security_integer_overflow.diff

BTW I've noticed that in KDECVS a similar patch was applied also to kpdf, but didn't find any report:

http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-cvs&m=109895739822113&w=2 >> IT'S WRONG
http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-cvs&m=109895658125554&w=2 >> IT'S RIGHT BUT APPLIED ON THE UPPER ONE.

Can't find/verify gpg signature. The patch looks good, though.

<<< koffice-1.3.3-r2.ebuild
<<< koffice-1.3.4-r1.ebuild

Arch herds, I have to ask you again: Please mark either one of the above ebuilds stable.

ppc64: Would be nice, if you would use the "second chance". I can dump the old ebuilds in one rush then.

Looks the same as (still not public) bug 69662 to me. Patches are different, but I would say they patch the same thing. Can someone with access double-confirm this is a different issue ?

Koon: Yes, it is. Koffice is fixed, kdegraphics fixes follow in a few minutes.

Thanks Carsten for clarification.
We'll probably group xpdf 64 bit GLSAs (or update the old xpdf one).
