23 | Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in teTeX, possibly allowing |
24 | to execute arbitrary code or overwrite arbitrary files. |

43 | <p> |
44 | Joachim Schrod discovered several buffer overflow vulnerabilities and |
45 | an insecure temporary file creation in the "dvilj" application that is |
46 | used by dvips to convert DVI files to printer formats (CVE-2007-5937, |
47 | CVE-2007-5936). Bastien Roucaries reported that the "dvips" application |
48 | is vulnerable to two stack-based buffer overflows when processing DVI |
49 | documents with long \href{} URIs (CVE-2007-5935). teTeX also includes |
50 | code from Xpdf that is vulnerable to a memory corruption and two |
51 | heap-based buffer overflows (GLSA 200711-22); and it contains code from |
52 | T1Lib that is vulnerable to a buffer overflow when processing an overly |
53 | long font filename (GLSA 200710-12). |
54 | </p> |
55 | </description> |
56 | <impact type="normal"> |
57 | <p> |
58 | A remote attacker could entice a user to process a specially crafted |
59 | DVI or PDF file which could lead to the execution of arbitrary code |
60 | with the privileges of the user running the application. A local |
61 | attacker could exploit the "dvilj" vulnerability to conduct a symlink |
62 | attack to overwrite arbitrary files. |
63 | </p> |
64 | </impact> |
65 | <workaround> |
66 | <p> |
67 | There is no known workaround at this time. |
68 | </p> |
69 | </workaround> |
70 | <resolution> |
71 | <p> |
72 | All teTeX users should upgrade to the latest version: |
73 | </p> |
74 | <code> |
75 | # emerge --sync |
76 | # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-text/tetex-3.0_p1-r6"</code> |
77 | </resolution> |
