Maybe it was PDFKit (libpdfkit0,libpdfkit0-dev)? PDFKit uses poppler for the non-gui stuff, and embedded xpdf code for the gui stuff, because porting to poppler for the gui stuff was too hard for me. (I know, it's an ugly hack, but it works.) So any non-gui xpdf vulnerabilities won't affect PDFKit.
