CentOS Errata and Security Advisory CESA-2009:1681

GPdf is a viewer for Portable Document Format (PDF) files.

Petr Gajdos and Christian Kornacker of SUSE reported a buffer overflow flaw
in GPdf’s Type 1 font parser. A specially-crafted PDF file with an embedded
Type 1 font could cause GPdf to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code
when opened. (CVE-2009-4035)

Users are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which contains a
backported patch to correct this issue.
