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.
