Mark Richters discovered a buffer overflow in the open_sty() function |
| 47 |
in file mkind.c. Other vulnerabilities have also been discovered in the |
| 48 |
same file but might not be exploitable (CVE-2007-0650). Tetex also |
| 49 |
includes vulnerable code from GD library (GLSA 200708-05), and from |
| 50 |
Xpdf (CVE-2007-3387). |

<impact type="normal"> |
| 54 |
<p> |
| 55 |
A remote attacker could entice a user to process a specially crafted |
| 56 |
PNG, GIF or PDF file, or to execute "makeindex" on an overly long |
| 57 |
filename. In both cases, this could lead to the remote execution of |
| 58 |
arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application. |
| 59 |
</p> |
| 60 |
</impact> |
| 61 |
<workaround> |
| 62 |
<p> |
| 63 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
| 64 |
</p> |

<resolution> |
| 67 |
<p> |
| 68 |
All teTeX users should upgrade to the latest version: |

<code> |
| 71 |
# emerge --sync |
| 72 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-text/tetex-3.0_p1-r4"</code> |
