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

GPdf is a viewer for Portable Document Format (PDF) files.

Petr Gajdos and Christian Kornacker of SUSE reported a buffer overflow
flaw in GPdf's Type 1 font parser. A specially crafted PDF file with
an embedded Type 1 font could cause GPdf to crash or, possibly,
execute arbitrary code when opened. (CVE-2009-4035)

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