Bug Fix Advisory poppler bug fix update

Advisory: RHBA-2009:1537-1
Type: Bug Fix Advisory
Severity: N/A
Issued on: 2009-10-30
Last updated on: 2009-10-30
Affected Products: Red Hat Enterprise Linux EUS (v. 5.3.z server)
OVAL: N/A

Details

An updated poppler package that corrects a regression is now available.

Poppler is a Portable Document Format (PDF) rendering library, used by
applications such as Evince.

This update addresses the following bug:

* a regression was introduced in the previous security update,
RHSA-2009:0480, that prevented poppler from rendering PDFs which contained
arithmetically encoded JBIG2 images with unknown length. Specifically,
poppler was unable to render PDFs generated by a Xerox WorkCentre 7232
scanner. With this update, such PDFs render correctly, as expected.
(BZ#528146)

All users of poppler and applications that rely on poppler are advised to
upgrade to this updated package, which resolves this issue.
