Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'evince' package(s) announced via the USN-1347-1 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:

execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking the
program.

In the default installation, attackers would be isolated by the Evince
AppArmor profile.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).
