MiracleLinux 4 : texlive-2007-57.AXS4 (AXSA:2012-203:01)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 284117

Synopsis

The remote MiracleLinux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The remote MiracleLinux 4 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the AXSA:2012-203:01 advisory.

 TeXLive is an implementation of TeX for Linux or UNIX systems. TeX takes a text file and a set of formatting commands as input and creates a printable file as output. Usually, TeX is used in conjunction with a higher level formatting package like LaTeX or PlainTeX, since TeX by itself is not very user- friendly.
 Install texlive if you want to use the TeX text formatting system. Consider to install texlive-latex (a higher level formatting package which provides an easier-to-use interface for TeX).
 The TeX documentation is located in the texlive-doc package.
 Security issues fixed with this release:
 CVE-2010-2642 Heap-based buffer overflow in the AFM font parser in the dvi-backend component in Evince 2.32 and earlier, teTeX 3.0, t1lib 5.1.2, and possibly other products allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted font in conjunction with a DVI file that is processed by the thumbnailer.
 CVE-2011-0433 No description available, see the CVE links below.
 CVE-2011-0764 t1lib 5.1.2 and earlier, as used in Xpdf before 3.02pl6 and other products, uses an invalid pointer in conjunction with a dereference operation, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted Type 1 font in a PDF document, as demonstrated by testz.2184122398.pdf.
 CVE-2011-1552 t1lib 5.1.2 and earlier, as used in Xpdf before 3.02pl6 and other products, reads from invalid memory locations, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted Type 1 font in a PDF document, a different vulnerability than CVE-2011-0764.
 CVE-2011-1553 Use-after-free vulnerability in t1lib 5.1.2 and earlier, as used in Xpdf before 3.02pl6 and other products, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a PDF document containing a crafted Type 1 font that triggers an invalid memory write, a different vulnerability than CVE-2011-0764.
 CVE-2011-1554 Off-by-one error in t1lib 5.1.2 and earlier, as used in Xpdf before 3.02pl6 and other products, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a PDF document containing a crafted Type 1 font that triggers an invalid memory read, integer overflow, and invalid pointer dereference, a different vulnerability than CVE-2011-0764.
