Debian DSA-2116-1 Critical: Poppler Code Execution Risk

Joel Voss of Leviathan Security Group discovered two vulnerabilities in
the Poppler PDF rendering library, 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 0.8.7-4.

For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems will be fixed soon.

We recommend that you upgrade your poppler packages.
