Only 12/poppler is missing the patch.

> Only 12/poppler is missing the patch.

Ah nope. Even 12/poppler is already fixed.

This is because we solved upstream bug 742 trough CVE-2020-27778. So this is sort of duplicate of CVE-2020-27778 bsc#1179163.

12sp2,12/poppler has CVE-2020-27778.patch
15+/poppler has this in upstream tarball already
