Synopsis:	Important: poppler security update
Issue date:	2010-11-10
CVE Names:	CVE-2010-3702 CVE-2010-3703 CVE-2010-3704

Two uninitialized pointer use flaws were discovered in poppler. An
attacker could create a malicious PDF file that, when opened, would
cause applications that use poppler (such as Evince) to crash or,
potentially, execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2010-3702, CVE-2010-3703)

An array index error was found in the way poppler parsed PostScript Type
1 fonts embedded in PDF documents. An attacker could create a malicious
PDF file that, when opened, would cause applications that use poppler
(such as Evince) to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code.
(CVE-2010-3704)
