Open Source CERT Security Advisory 2009.16

Both the Poppler and Xpdf projects are vulnerable to an integer overflow during heap memory allocation when processing a PDF file. In general, this results in unexpected process termination. If an application using this code is multi-threaded (or uses a crash signal handler), it may be possible to execute arbitrary code. Poppler versions below 0.12.1 are affected. Xpdf versions below 3.02p14 are affected.
