CVE-2008-1693

Xpdf's handling of embedded fonts lacks sufficient validation
and type checking.  If a maliciously-crafted PDF file is opened,
the vulnerability may allow the execution of arbitrary code with
the privileges of the user running xpdf.

For the stable distribution (etch), these problems have been fixed in
version 3.01-9.1+etch3.

For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems were fixed in
version 3.02-1.2.");
