Synopsis Updated xpdf packages fix buffer overflow vulnerability

Problem Description

A buffer overflow vulnerability was discovered in the xpdf PDF
viewer, which could allow for arbitrary code execution as the user

the /Encrypt /Length tag.

The updated packages have been patched to prevent these problems.
