Category:Slackware Local Security Checks
Title:Slackware: Security Advisory (SSA:2023-144-01)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the 'texlive' package(s) announced via the SSA:2023-144-01 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'texlive' package(s) announced via the SSA:2023-144-01 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
New texlive packages are available for Slackware 15.0 and -current to
fix a security issue.


Here are the details from the Slackware 15.0 ChangeLog:
+--------------------------+
patches/packages/texlive-2023.230322-i586-1_slack15.0.txz: Upgraded.
This update patches a security issue:
LuaTeX before 1.17.0 allows execution of arbitrary shell commands when
compiling a TeX file obtained from an untrusted source. This occurs
because luatex-core.lua lets the original io.popen be accessed. This also
affects TeX Live before 2023 r66984 and MiKTeX before 23.5.
Thanks to Johannes Schoepfer.
