 Actually, OpenSuse has one more patch (CVE-2007-3387) and when I
looked them up at mitre they all originate with xpdf : the first is
in xpdf-3.02, the rest are in pl1 (pl2 is now available - it doesn't
say what it fixes).

 The first references poppler < 0.5.91 (we are on 0.5.4), I see
0.8.0 is now out (and poppler-data-0.2.0) but I haven't even used
0.6/0.1 with the BLFS-6.3 book.  A quick look suggests evince
is the user to test.  Perhaps also abiword, but that always
complains that poppler was installed without the xpdf headers (and
can nevertheless save as .pdf).

 - I feel fairly confident the updated kde versions in the book
include these fixes, but on my current system I can see that
kdegraphics-3.5.8 appears to be using poppler.

 Will test further, and rename the ticket.

 I thought software reuse was supposed to be a good thing ?
