Synopsis:	Important: poppler security update
Issue date:	2008-04-17
CVE Names:	CVE-2008-1693

Kees Cook discovered a flaw in the way poppler displayed malformed fonts
embedded in PDF files. An attacker could create a malicious PDF file that
would cause applications that use poppler -- such as Evince -- to crash,
or, potentially, execute arbitrary code when opened. (CVE-2008-1693)
