CentOS Errata and Security Advisory CESA-2008:0262
gpdf is a GNOME-based viewer for Portable Document Format (PDF) files.
Kees Cook discovered a flaw in the way gpdf displayed malformed fonts
embedded in PDF files. An attacker could create a malicious PDF file that
would cause gpdf to crash, or, potentially, execute arbitrary code when
opened. (CVE-2008-1693)
Users of gpdf are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which
contains a backported patch to resolve this issue.
