Xpdf is an X Window System based viewer for Portable Document Format (PDF)
files.

create a malicious PDF file that, when opened, would cause Xpdf to crash
or, potentially, execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2010-3702)

An array index error was found in the way Xpdf parsed PostScript Type 1
fonts embedded in PDF documents. An attacker could create a malicious PDF
file that, when opened, would cause Xpdf to crash or, potentially, execute
arbitrary code. (CVE-2010-3704)

Users are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which contains
backported patches to correct these issues.
