  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    An attacker could entice a user to convert a specially-crafted PDF
    file, potentially resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the
    rights of the user running pdftohtml.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All pdftohtml users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=app-text/pdftohtml-0.36-r2"</code>
