New xpdf packages are available for Slackware 15.0 and -current to

Here are the details from the Slackware 15.0 ChangeLog:
+--------------------------+
patches/packages/xpdf-4.05-i586-1_slack15.0.txz: Upgraded.
This update fixes security issues:
Fixed a bug in the ICCBased color space parser that was allowing the number
of components to be zero. Thanks to huckleberry for the bug report.
Fixed a bug in the ICCBased color space parser that was allowing the number
of components to be zero. Thanks to huckleberry for the bug report.
Added checks for PDF object loops in AcroForm::scanField(),
Catalog::readPageLabelTree2(), and Catalog::readEmbeddedFileTree().
The zero-width character problem can also happen if the page size is very
large -- that needs to be limited too, the same way as character position
coordinates. Thanks to jlinliu for the bug report.
Add some missing bounds check code in DCTStream. Thanks to Jiahao Liu for
the bug report.
Fix a deadlock when an object stream's length field is contained in another
object stream. Thanks to Jiahao Liu for the bug report.
