    Summary: Updated qpdf packages fix security vulnerabilities

    Details: Updated qpdf packages fix security vulnerabilities: 1. Stack overflow due to endless recursion in QPDFTokenizer::resolveLiteral() 2. Another stack overflow / endless recursion in QPDFWriter::enqueueObject() 3. Stack out of bounds read in iterate_rc4() 4. heap out of bounds read (large) in Pl_Buffer::write 5. Hang due to a pdf xref loop: Also, the libjpeg package has been patched to provide pkgconfig files, so that cups-filters could be rebuilt against this qpdf update.
