(Poppler: Two buffer overflow vulnerabilities)

    Poppler and Xpdf are vulnerable to an integer overflow in the
    StreamPredictor::StreamPredictor function, and a stack overflow in the
    StreamPredictor::getNextLine function. The original vulnerability was
    discovered by Maurycy Prodeus. Note: Gentoo's version of Xpdf is
    patched to use the Poppler library, so the update to Poppler will also
    fix Xpdf.
  
Impact :

    By enticing a user to view a specially crafted program with a
    Poppler-based PDF viewer such as Gentoo's Xpdf, Epdfview, or Evince, a
    remote attacker could cause an overflow, potentially resulting in the
    execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the
    application.
  
Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time."
