New xpdf packages are available for Slackware 9.1, 10.0, 10.1, 10.2, 11.0, 12.0, and -current. New poppler packages are available for Slackware 12.0 and -current. New koffice packages are available for Slackware 11.0, 12.0, and -current. New kdegraphics packages are available for Slackware 10.2, 11.0, 12.0, and -current.
These updated packages address similar bugs which could be used to crash applications linked with poppler or that use code from xpdf through the use of a malformed PDF document. It is possible that a maliciously crafted document could cause code to be executed in the context of the user running the application processing the PDF.
