Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in abcm2ps: |
38 |
|
39 |
* Boundary errors in the PUT0 and PUT1 macros, the trim_title() |
40 |
function, or a long "-O" command line option can lead to a buffer |
41 |
overflow (CVE-2010-3441). |
42 |
* A vulnerability in the getarena() function in abc2ps.c can cause a |
43 |
heap-based buffer overflow in abcm2ps (CVE-2010-4743). |
44 |
* Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities (CVE-2010-4744). |

file or use a long -O option on the command line, resulting in the |
51 |
execution of arbitrary code. |
