(KPdf, KOffice: Stack overflow in included Xpdf code)

    KPdf and KOffice both include Xpdf code to handle PDF files. Xpdf
    is vulnerable to a new stack overflow, as described in GLSA 200501-28.
  
Impact :

    An attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted PDF
    file, potentially resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the
    rights of the user running the affected application.
  
Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time."
