USN-390-1 fixed a vulnerability in evince.  The original fix did not 
fully solve the problem, allowing for a denial of service in certain 
situations.

Original advisory details:

  A buffer overflow was discovered in the PostScript processor included 
  in evince.  By tricking a user into opening a specially crafted PS 
  file, an attacker could crash evince or execute arbitrary code with 
  the user's privileges.
