Mandriva Linux Security Advisory - Kees Cook of Ubuntu security found a flaw in how poppler prior to version 0.6 displayed malformed fonts embedded in PDF files. An attacker could create a malicious PDF file that would cause applications using poppler to crash, or possibly execute arbitrary code when opened. This vulnerability also affected KOffice, so the updated packages have been patched to correct this issue. A file conflicts existed between one of the library packages and the koffice-devel package which prevented successful upgrades if koffice-devel was previously installed. This update removes the conflicting file from koffice-devel.
