Security Fixes
- CVE-2010-2642, CVE-2011-0433
- teTeX embeds a copy of t1lib to rasterize bitmaps from PostScript Type 1 fonts. The following issues affect t1lib code:Two heap-based buffer overflow flaws were found in the way t1lib processed Adobe Font Metrics (AFM) files. If a specially-crafted font file was opened by teTeX, it could cause teTeX to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running teTeX.
- CVE-2011-0764
- An invalid pointer dereference flaw was found in t1lib. A specially-crafted font file could, when opened, cause teTeX to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running teTeX.
- CVE-2011-1553
- A use-after-free flaw was found in t1lib. A specially-crafted font file could, when opened, cause teTeX to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running teTeX.
- CVE-2011-1554
- An off-by-one flaw was found in t1lib. A specially-crafted font file could, when opened, cause teTeX to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running teTeX.
- CVE-2011-1552
- An out-of-bounds memory read flaw was found in t1lib. A specially-crafted font file could, when opened, cause teTeX to crash.
- CVE-2010-3702
- teTeX embeds a copy of Xpdf, an open source Portable Document Format (PDF) file viewer, to allow adding images in PDF format to the generated PDF documents. The following issues affect Xpdf code:An uninitialized pointer use flaw was discovered in Xpdf. If pdflatex was used to process a TeX document referencing a specially-crafted PDF file, it could cause pdflatex to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running pdflatex.
- CVE-2010-3704
- An array index error was found in the way Xpdf parsed PostScript Type 1 fonts embedded in PDF documents. If pdflatex was used to process a TeX document referencing a specially-crafted PDF file, it could cause pdflatex to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running pdflatex.
