If I understand correctly, kpdf uses xpdf as a base rendering engine. The xpdf code in the Trinity source tree uses 3.02 from February 2007, which has been patched for security reasons several times since then.
There also is a patch to improve a scrolling speed bug that is caused by more recent gcc versions.
The most recent version of xpdf is 3.03.
Many distros have these patches applied or use 3.03.
I attached a Gentoo xpdf upgrade patch from late 2009 to the first bug report. Does anyone have anything better?
