Public bug reported:
After the poppler 0.10.5-1ubuntu2.4 security update on 20 Oct 2009
(USN-850-1), Okular segfaults on certain PDF files. If poppler is
rebuilt without the three patches introduced by the security update
(30_security_CVE-2009-3605.patch, 31_security_CVE-2009-360x.patch and
Two things I forgot:
- Evince behaves correctly both with and without the poppler patch. Are there
perhaps Qt-specific parts of the patches?
- If I can find the time, I'll try to reproduce the crash with a different PDF
file. The current one is my master thesis, which I'd rather not share with
Update: OK, using pdftk I extracted a single page that is enough to
crash Okular when the poppler security patch is applied. See attachment.

poppler security patch is applied

Sorry for attaching twice. Launchpad gave me an error the first time.

If more testing material is desired, I came across the PDF file [1],
which also crashes Okular when poppler is patched as above. Evince is

Nuno: With the poppler patches removed, Okular behaves correctly with
your PDF as well, so I don't think the problem is unrelated.

The same thing happens here (relatively fresh Kubuntu Dapper install). It seems
to be brought on either by KTorrent, amaroK or both.
