From Red Hat Security Advisory 2008:0239 :

Updated poppler packages that fix a security issue are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

This update has been rated as having important security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team.

Poppler is a PDF rendering library, used by applications such as Evince.

Kees Cook discovered a flaw in the way poppler displayed malformed fonts embedded in PDF files. An attacker could create a malicious PDF file that would cause applications that use poppler โ€“ such as Evince
โ€“ to crash, or, potentially, execute arbitrary code when opened.
(CVE-2008-1693)

Users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported patches to resolve this issue.
