Description:
Previous versions of multiple packages are vulnerable to multiple
attacks involving PDF files, the worst of which may allow an
authenticated or user-assisted attacker to execute arbitrary code.
Note that in the case of CUPS, authentication may be as simple as
being connected to a trusted network.
In addition, a minor Denial of Service attack against the cups
daemon is ameliorated in this update.
