PDFresurrect 0.21 introduces essential patches addressing a serious buffer overflow vulnerability. Safeguard your Fedora system today.
PDFresurrect 0.21

Summary

PDFResurrect is a tool aimed at analyzing PDF documents. The PDF format

allows for previous document changes to be retained in a more recent

version of the document, thereby creating a running history of changes

for the document. This tool attempts to extract all previous versions

while also producing a summary of changes between versions. This tool

can also "scrub" or write data over the original instances of PDF objects

that have been modified or deleted, in an effort to disguise information

from previous versions that might not be intended for anyone else to read.
