"An updated gpdf package that fixes a security issue is now available
for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.

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

gpdf is a GNOME-based viewer for Portable Document Format (PDF) files.

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

Users of gpdf are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which
contains a backported patch to resolve this issue."
