Multiple security vulnerabilities in the JBIG2 decoding feature in the Poppler PDF Rendering Library (libpoppler) may allow a local or remote unprivileged user to cause the OpenSolaris GNOME PDF Viewer (Evince) to crash and potentially execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application, when the user has loaded a specially crafted PDF file.
