Multiple buffer overflow flaws were found in xpdf's JBIG2 MMR decoder. A carefully crafted PDF file could result in arbitrary code execute with the permissions of the user running xpdf.
Will Dormann of the CERT/CC created the extensive testsuite for the JBIG2 decoder in various PDF libraries that found this flaw.

Untrusted search path vulnerability in the Gentoo package of Xpdf before 3.02-r2 allows local users to gain privileges via a Trojan horse xpdfrc file in the current working directory, related to an unset SYSTEMXPDFRC macro in a Gentoo build process that uses the poppler library.
t1lib 5.1.2 and earlier, as used in Xpdf before 3.02pl6, teTeX, and other products, uses an invalid pointer in conjunction with a dereference operation, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted Type 1 font in a PDF document, as demonstrated by testz.2184122398.pdf.
An integer overflow flaw was found in xpdf's JBIG2 decoder. This flaw could result in arbitrary code execute with the permissions of the user running xpdf.

An invalid free() flaw was found in xpdf's JBIG2 decoder. If a malicious PDF file could free() attacker controlled data, it may be possible to execute arbitrary code with the permissions of the user running xpdf.

Use-after-free vulnerability in t1lib 5.1.2 and earlier, as used in Xpdf before 3.02pl6, teTeX, and other products, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a PDF document containing a crafted Type 1 font that triggers an invalid memory write, a different vulnerability than CVE-2011-0764.
t1lib 5.1.2 and earlier, as used in Xpdf before 3.02pl6, teTeX, and other products, reads from invalid memory locations, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted Type 1 font in a PDF document, a different vulnerability than CVE-2011-0764.
Off-by-one error in t1lib 5.1.2 and earlier, as used in Xpdf before 3.02pl6, teTeX, and other products, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a PDF document containing a crafted Type 1 font that triggers an invalid memory read, integer overflow, and invalid pointer dereference, a different vulnerability than CVE-2011-0764.
Multiple NULL derefernce flaws were found in xpdf's JBIG2 decoder. A carefully crafted PDF file could cause xpdf to crash when opened.

An infinite loop flaw was found in xpdf's JBIG2 MMR decoder. If a carefully crafted PDF file is opened, it could cause xpdf to stop responding.
