CentOS Errata and Security Advisory CESA-2008:0240
Xpdf is an X Window System-based viewer for Portable Document Format (PDF)
files.
Kees Cook discovered a flaw in the way xpdf displayed malformed fonts
embedded in PDF files. An attacker could create a malicious PDF file that
would cause xpdf 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.
