Product : Fedora Core 4
Name : xpdf
Version : 3.01
Release : 0.FC4.5
Summary : A PDF file viewer for the X Window System.
Description :
Xpdf is an X Window System based viewer for Portable Document Format
(PDF) files. Xpdf is a small and efficient program which uses
standard X fonts.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:

Several flaws were discovered in Xpdf. An attacker could
construct a carefully crafted PDF file that could cause xpdf
to crash or possibly execute arbitrary code when opened. The
Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project assigned the

Users of xpdf should upgrade to this updated package, which
