(PDFKit, ImageKits: Buffer overflow)

    Maurycy Prodeus discovered an integer overflow vulnerability possibly
    leading to a stack-based buffer overflow in the XPDF code which PDFKit
    is based on. ImageKits also contains a copy of PDFKit.
  
Impact :

    By enticing a user to view a specially crafted PDF file with a viewer
    based on ImageKits or PDFKit such as Gentoo's ViewPDF, 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."

    As an alternative, users should upgrade their systems to use PopplerKit
    instead of PDFKit and Vindaloo instead of ViewPDF."
