+ <title>teTeX, pTeX, CSTeX: Multiple vulnerabilities</title>
+ <synopsis>
+ teTeX, pTeX and CSTeX make use of vulnerable Xpdf code which may allow the
+ remote execution of arbitrary code. Furthermore, the xdvizilla script is
+ vulnerable to temporary file handling issues.

+ <p>
+ teTeX is a complete and open source TeX distribution. CSTeX is
+ another TeX distribution including Czech and Slovak support. pTeX is
+ another alternative that allows Japanese publishing with TeX. xdvizilla
+ is an auxiliary script used to integrate DVI file viewing in
+ Mozilla-based browsers.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>
+ teTeX, pTeX and CSTeX all make use of Xpdf code and may therefore
+ be vulnerable to the various overflows that were discovered in Xpdf
+ code (CAN-2004-0888, CAN-2004-0889, CAN-2004-1125 and CAN-2005-0064).
+ Furthermore, Javier Fernandez-Sanguino Pena discovered that the
+ xdvizilla script does not handle temporary files correctly.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ An attacker could design a malicious input file which, when
+ processed using one of the TeX distributions, could lead to the
+ execution of arbitrary code. Furthermore, a local attacker could create
+ symbolic links in the temporary files directory, pointing to a valid
+ file somewhere on the filesystem. When xdvizilla is called, this would
+ result in the file being overwritten with the rights of the user
+ running the script.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All teTeX users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=app-text/tetex-2.0.2-r5"</code>
+ <p>
+ All CSTeX users should also upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=app-text/cstetex-2.0.2-r1"</code>
+ <p>
+ Finally, all pTeX users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=app-text/ptex-3.1.4-r2"</code>
