Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated poppler packages that fix several bugs are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 5.

Description

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

This update fixes the following bugs:

• When working with a PDF document with text spanning multiple columns, text
  selection may not have followed the flow of the text. This update improves the
  text selection to respect the text flow. (BZ#467285)
  
• 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 an 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#501716)
  
• Previously, poppler was unable to open some PDF files created with Adobe
  Acrobat due to incorrect determination of the position in the JBIG2 stream. With
  this update, such PDFs open correctly. (BZ#525311)
  
• Due to an error in memory allocation, previous versions of poppler may have
  terminated unexpectedly while rendering certain PDF documents. With this update,
  the underlying source code has been modified to address this issue, and poppler
  no longer fails to render such PDF documents. (BZ#598945)
  
• Previously, poppler was unable to open some PDF files due to unsupported
  security feature and the file opening failed with the following error:
  

Error: Unsupported version/revision (4/4) of Standard security handler
Error: Incorrect password

With this update, the underlying source code has been modified and such PDF
files open as expected. (BZ#637124)

• Prior to this update, certain PDF documents may have been rendered with some
  characters displayed backwards. With this update, an upstream patch has been
  applied to ensure that poppler takes into account the horizontal scaling when
  updating the font, and such PDF documents are now rendered correctly.
  (BZ#698052)
  

All users of poppler are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix
these bugs.
