There has been a vulnerability report for MuPDF: http://secunia.com/advisories/37494/ DESCRIPTION: Christophe Devine has reported some vulnerabilities in MuPDF, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise an application using the library. The vulnerabilities are caused due to boundary errors within the "pdf_loadtype4shade()", "pdf_loadtype5shade()", "pdf_loadtype6shade()", and "pdf_loadtype7shade()" functions in mupdf/pdf_shade4.c. This can be exploited to cause stack-based buffer overflows by e.g. tricking a user into opening a specially crafted PDF file in an application using the library. The issue was fixed in upstream's darcs repository. Please note that we require the initial commiter to gentoo-x86 to verify that this issue has been resolved before adding the package. Please contact Security if you have any questions. Thanks.

fast and lean viewer for the PDF I have to view. Hope mupdf will go in main portage tree.
There's a new 0.6 release (committed for review) and heavy activity on upstream.
