CentOS Errata and Security Advisory CESA-2008:0239
Poppler is a PDF rendering library, used by applications such as Evince.
Kees Cook discovered a flaw in the way poppler displayed malformed fonts
embedded in PDF files. An attacker could create a malicious PDF file that
would cause applications that use poppler โ such as Evince โ to crash,
or, potentially, execute arbitrary code when opened. (CVE-2008-1693)
Users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain
backported patches to resolve this issue.
