kpdf update/deinstall notice

I've been using FreeBSD for about 7 months now, and for some time I have been trying to take care of the system notice I have been receiving regarding kpdf:

**Checking for packages with security vulnerabilities:

**Affected package: kdegraphics-3.4.2_1
**Type of problem: kpdf -- heap based buffer overflow.
**Reference: <http://www.FreeBSD.org/ports/portaudit/432bf98d-9e25-11da-b410-000e0c2e438a.html>

**1 problem(s) in your installed packages found.

**You are advised to update or deinstall the affected package(s) immediately.

I have tried updating kde and xpdf (since the note on FreeBSD stated the code shared from xpdf was the problem) without success.  Could somebody please walk me through the way to fix this problem?

Max points awarded to the solver because you deserve them!!!

Thanks :)

If you are using ports (which I REALLY recommend), you can use portupgrade as well. portupgrade is your friend.
