    An attacker could entice a user to open a specially-crafted PDF
    file, potentially resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the
    rights of the user running the affected application.

    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All KPdf users should upgrade to the latest version of
    kdegraphics:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose kde-base/kdegraphics</code>
    <p>
    All KOffice users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose app-office/koffice</code>
