Debian DSA-1390-1 : t1lib - buffer overflow

high Nessus Plugin ID 27545

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.

Description

Hamid Ebadi discovered a buffer overflow in the intT1_Env_GetCompletePath routine in t1lib, a Type 1 font rasterizer library. This flaw could allow an attacker to crash an application using the t1lib shared libraries, and potentially execute arbitrary code within such an application's security context.

Solution

Upgrade the t1lib package.

For the old stable distribution (sarge), this problem has been fixed in version 5.0.2-3sarge1.

For the stable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in version 5.1.0-2etch1.
