DESCRIPTION:
Some vulnerabilities have been discovered in Poppler, which can be
exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.

The vulnerabilities are caused due to boundary errors within the
"pdftoabw" utility, which can be exploited to cause stack-based
buffer overflows by e.g. tricking a user into converting a specially
crafted PDF file using the utility.

The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 0.12.1. Other versions
may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Do not process untrusted files.
