There's bound to be a stack/heap/buffer overflow somewhere.
Does the PDF reader use freetype to render embedded type1 fonts in PDF files?

If so, it may be vulnerable to CVE-2011-0226 (see http://esec-lab.sogeti.com/post/Anal...3-font-exploit for an analysis of a recent iPhone jailbreak using this exploit).
