The remote host is missing an update to tetex
announced via advisory MDVSA-2012:144.
Multiple vulnerabilities has been found and corrected in tetex:
The Gfx::getPos function in the PDF parser in poppler, allows
context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (crash)
via unknown vectors that trigger an uninitialized pointer dereference
(CVE-2010-3702).
The FoFiType1::parse function in fofi/FoFiType1.cc in the PDF parser
in poppler, allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial
of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a PDF
file with a crafted Type1 font that contains a negative array index,
which bypasses input validation and which triggers memory corruption
(CVE-2010-3704).
A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the way AFM font file
parser, used for rendering of DVI files, in GNOME evince document
viewer and other products, processed line tokens from the given input
stream. A remote attacker could provide a DVI file, with embedded
specially-crafted font file, and trick the local user to open it with
an application using the AFM font parser, leading to that particular
application crash or, potentially, arbitrary code execution with the
privileges of the user running the application. Different vulnerability
than CVE-2010-2642 (CVE-2011-0433).
t1lib 5.1.2 and earlier uses an invalid pointer in conjunction with
a dereference operation, which allows remote attackers to execute
arbitrary code via a specially crafted Type 1 font in a PDF document
(CVE-2011-0764).
t1lib 5.1.2 and earlier 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-2011-1552).
Use-after-free vulnerability in t1lib 5.1.2 and earlier 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-2011-1553).
Off-by-one error in t1lib 5.1.2 and earlier 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 (CVE-2011-1554).
The updated packages have been patched to correct these issues.
Affected: Enterprise Server 5.0
Solution:
To upgrade automatically use MandrakeUpdate or urpmi. The verification
of md5 checksums and GPG signatures is performed automatically for you.
