The remote host is missing an update to tetex
announced via advisory MDKSA-2007:164.
Maurycy Prodeus found an integer overflow vulnerability in the way
various PDF viewers processed PDF files. An attacker could create
a malicious PDF file that could cause tetex to crash and possibly
execute arbitrary code open a user opening the file.
In addition, tetex contains an embedded copy of the GD library which
suffers from a number of bugs which potentially lead to denial of
service and possibly other issues.
Integer overflow in gdImageCreateTrueColor function in the GD Graphics
Library (libgd) before 2.0.35 allows user-assisted remote attackers
to have unspecified remote attack vectors and impact. (CVE-2007-3472)
The gdImageCreateXbm function in the GD Graphics Library (libgd)
before 2.0.35 allows user-assisted remote attackers to cause a denial
of service (crash) via unspecified vectors involving a gdImageCreate
failure. (CVE-2007-3473)
Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in the GIF reader in the
GD Graphics Library (libgd) before 2.0.35 allow user-assisted
remote attackers to have unspecified attack vectors and
impact. (CVE-2007-3474)
The GD Graphics Library (libgd) before 2.0.35 allows user-assisted
remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a GIF image
that has no global color map. (CVE-2007-3475)
Array index error in gd_gif_in.c in the GD Graphics Library (libgd)
before 2.0.35 allows user-assisted remote attackers to cause
a denial of service (crash and heap corruption) via large color
index values in crafted image data, which results in a segmentation
fault. (CVE-2007-3476)
The (a) imagearc and (b) imagefilledarc functions in GD Graphics
Library (libgd) before 2.0.35 allows attackers to cause a denial
of service (CPU consumption) via a large (1) start or (2) end angle
degree value. (CVE-2007-3477)
Race condition in gdImageStringFTEx (gdft_draw_bitmap) in gdft.c in the
GD Graphics Library (libgd) before 2.0.35 allows user-assisted remote
attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via unspecified vectors,
possibly involving truetype font (TTF) support. (CVE-2007-3478)
Updated packages have been patched to prevent these issues.
Affected: 2007.0, 2007.1, Corporate 4.0
Solution:
To upgrade automatically use MandrakeUpdate or urpmi. The verification
of md5 checksums and GPG signatures is performed automatically for you.
