Insight
Insight
Joel Voss of Leviathan Security Group discovered two vulnerabilities in xpdf rendering engine, which may lead to the execution of arbitrary code if a malformed PDF file is opened. For the stable distribution (lenny), these problems have been fixed in version 3.02-1.4+lenny3. For the upcoming stable distribution (squeeze) and the unstable distribution (sid), these problems don't apply, since xpdf has been patched to use the Poppler PDF library.
Solution
Solution
We recommend that you upgrade your poppler packages.
