Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the 'texlive' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2017-0127 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'texlive' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2017-0127 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: It was discovered that texlive whitelists mpost as an external program to be run from within the TeX source code (called \write18).

Affected Software/OS: 'texlive' package(s) on Mageia 5. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 7.5 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P
