Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.57838
Category:Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:Ubuntu USN-410-2 (tetex-bin)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to tetex-bin
announced via advisory USN-410-2.

===========================================================

A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:

Ubuntu 5.10

This advisory also applies to the corresponding versions of
Kubuntu, Edubuntu, and Xubuntu.

The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the
following package versions:

Ubuntu 5.10:
tetex-bin 2.0.2-30ubuntu3.6

In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the
necessary changes.

Details follow:

USN-410-1 fixed vulnerabilities in the poppler PDF loader library. This
update provides the corresponding updates for a copy of this code in
tetex-bin in Ubuntu 5.10. Versions of tetex-bin after Ubuntu 5.10 use
poppler directly and do not need a separate update.

Original advisory details:

The poppler PDF loader library did not limit the recursion depth of
the page model tree. By tricking a user into opening a specially
crafter PDF file, this could be exploited to trigger an infinite loop
and eventually crash an application that uses this library.
