+ Poppler is a cross-platform PDF rendering library originally based on + Xpdf. +

+
+ +

+ Felipe Andres Manzano reported a memory management issue in the Page + class constructor/destructor. +

+
+ +

+ A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted PDF + file with a Poppler-based PDF viewer such as Gentoo's Xpdf, Epdfview, + or Evince, potentially resulting in the execution of arbitrary code + with the privileges of the user running the application. +

+
+ +

+ There is no known workaround at this time. +

+
+ +

+ All poppler users should upgrade to the latest version: +

+ + # emerge --sync + # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-text/poppler-0.6.3-r1" +
