Bug#316546: libpoppler patch for tetex-bin, poppler security issues
Hello Martin,
I found a problem with the patch you provided for using libpoppler to
compile tetex: Because of the LDFLAGS added to the make all call in
debian/rules, each and every binary was linked against libpoppler...
I have fixed this; the make call in debian/rules is restored to its old
version, and the updated patch is available at
http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/pkg-tetex/tetex-bin/trunk/debian/patches/patch-poppler?op=file&rev=0&sc=0
This is already uploaded as tetex-bin_3.0-13.
One more question: Did you also contact xpdf's and poppler's upstream
about the changes we made compared to the original xpdf patches? I
don't know how fast poppler synchronizes with xpdf, therefore I think
one should tell the poppler people directly, to be on the safe side.
Regards, Frank
