How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:unstable xpdf to version 3.02-9 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream xpdf package and not the xpdf package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:unstable relevant fixed versions and status.

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.
