Bug#504610: evince, okular: 'Bogus memory allocation size' while opening certain PDF files

[Jussi Judin]

Package: evince
Version: 2.22.2-4~lenny1
Severity: important


When opening PDF files on this page
https://noppa.tkk.fi/noppa/kurssi/mat-2.3128/harjoitustyot (click
"Avaa kaikki" or "1. harjoitustyö" links to reveal the files), Evince
and Okular both exit with following messages:

....
Error: Found a bad table definition on true type definition, trying to continue... 
Error: Found a bad table definition on true type definition, trying to continue... 
Error: Found a bad table definition on true type definition, trying to continue... 
Error: Found a bad table definition on true type definition, trying to continue... 
Bogus memory allocation size

So this might be an issue in libpoppler instead because it affects
those two programs. And if this gives more hints, I asked the maker of
those PDF files and they are created with Adobe Acrobat 6 (part of
Adobe CS3 package) and include some embedded fonts.
