The problem is for 3.0 solved as we use libpoppler.

http://www.debian.org/security/2006/dsa-937 refers to CVE-2005-3624,
CVE-2005-3625, CVE-2005-3627. In Debian stable (2.0.2-sarge4) is a
patch contained, named patch-CVE-2005-3624_5_7. That one is identical
to your patch posted on Ubuntu. Hence I guess that bug is solved for
stable.
On the DSA page Joey states, that the problem is solved for oldstable
too. The .orig.tar.gz contains a patched Stream.cc, which got the
same modifications as your patch contain, except the last hunk. I'm
attaching it. Could you evluate if the hunk is necessary.
If not I guess we're done here and can close #346086.

Thanks,
  Hilmar
