Hi,

a user on #debian-security ("schmidt") reported that the pdf
linked from this page

http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bild:WikiReader_Digest_2005-17.pdf

uses all memory when nautilus tries to create the thumbnail via
evince-thumbnailer (which in turn uses poppler).

I killed evince when it grew over 2GB mem usage. Acroread and
gv can display the file with about 100-150MB mem usage.


Cheers,
Stefan

Hi,

I fail to reproduce here, using epdfview and evince-gtk.
In epdfview it asks for a passwords and in terminal says that the pdf is
corrupted. In evince-gtk it says the location can't be opened.

I didn't put a notfound, but basically it's that. btw, I'm not using gnome, I
run Xfce, not sure it has something to do, but in case…

Cheers,
