+  <title>Poppler: User-assisted execution of arbitrary code</title>
+  <synopsis>
+    Poppler does not handle fonts inside PDF files safely, allowing for
+    execution of arbitrary code.

+    <p>
+    Kees Cook from the Ubuntu Security Team reported that the
+    CairoFont::create() function in the file CairoFontEngine.cc does not
+    verify the type of an embedded font object inside a PDF file before
+    dereferencing a function pointer from it.
+    </p>
+  </description>
+  <impact type="normal">
+    <p>
+    A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted PDF
+    file with a Poppler-based PDF viewer such as Gentoo's Xpdf, Epdfview,
+    or Evince, potentially resulting in the execution of arbitrary code
+    with the privileges of the user running the application.
+    </p>
+  </impact>
+  <workaround>
+    <p>
+    There is no known workaround at this time.
+    </p>
+  </workaround>
+  <resolution>
+    <p>
+    All Poppler users should upgrade to the latest version:
+    </p>
+    <code>
+    # emerge --sync
+    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=app-text/poppler-0.6.3"</code>
