Gentoo Linux Security Advisory 200508-8

Gentoo Linux Security Advisory GLSA 200508-08 – Xpdf, Kpdf and GPdf do not handle a broken table of embedded TrueType fonts correctly. After detecting such a table, Xpdf, Kpdf and GPdf attempt to reconstruct the information in it by decoding the PDF file, which causes the generation of a huge temporary file. Versions less than 3.00-r10 are affected.
