NASL family Scientific Linux Local Security Checks NASL id SL_20100506_TETEX_ON_SL5_X.NASL description Multiple integer overflow flaws were found in the way teTeX processed special commands when converting DVI files into PostScript. An attacker could create a malicious DVI file that would cause the dvips executable to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2010-0739, CVE-2010-1440) Multiple array index errors were found in the way teTeX converted DVI files into the Portable Network Graphics (PNG) format. An attacker could create a malicious DVI file that would cause the dvipng executable to crash.

Integer overflow in the ObjectStream::ObjectStream function in XRef.cc in Xpdf 3.x before 3.02pl4 and Poppler before 0.12.1, as used in GPdf, kdegraphics KPDF, CUPS pdftops, and teTeX, might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted PDF document that triggers a heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-2009-3608). Integer overflow in dvips in TeX Live 2009 and earlier, and teTeX, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted virtual font (VF) file associated with a DVI file (CVE-2010-0827). Multiple array index errors in set.c in dvipng 1.11 and 1.12, and teTeX, allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a malformed DVI file (CVE-2010-0829). Integer overflow in the predospecial function in dospecial.c in dvips in (1) TeX Live and (2) teTeX might allow user-assisted remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted DVI file that triggers a heap-based buffer overflow. NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third-party information (CVE-2010-0739). Multiple integer overflows in dvipsk/dospecial.c in dvips in TeX Live 2009 and earlier, and teTeX, allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a special command in a DVI file, related to the (1) predospecial and (2) bbdospecial functions, a different vulnerability than CVE-2010-0739 (CVE-2010-1440).

Please review the CVE identifiers referenced below for details. Impact : These vulnerabilities might allow user-assisted remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a specially crafted DVI file, or cause a Denial of Service. Workaround : There is no known workaround at this time. last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 59701 published 2012-06-26 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2012-2018 Tenable Network Security, Inc. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/59701 title GLSA-201206-28 : TeX Live: Multiple vulnerabilities NASL family Red Hat Local Security Checks NASL id REDHAT-RHSA-2010-0401.NASL description Updated tetex packages that fix multiple security issues are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3. The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having moderate security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base scores, which give detailed severity ratings, are available for each vulnerability from the CVE links in the References section. teTeX is an implementation of TeX. TeX takes a text file and a set of formatting commands as input, and creates a typesetter-independent DeVice Independent (DVI) file as output. A buffer overflow flaw was found in the way teTeX processed virtual font files when converting DVI files into PostScript. An attacker could create a malicious DVI file that would cause the dvips executable to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2010-0827) Multiple integer overflow flaws were found in the way teTeX processed special commands when converting DVI files into PostScript. An attacker could create a malicious DVI file that would cause the dvips executable to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2010-0739, CVE-2010-1440) A stack-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the way teTeX processed DVI files containing HyperTeX references with long titles, when converting them into PostScript. An attacker could create a malicious DVI file that would cause the dvips executable to crash. (CVE-2007-5935) teTeX embeds a copy of Xpdf, an open source Portable Document Format (PDF) file viewer, to allow adding images in PDF format to the generated PDF documents. The following issues affect Xpdf code : Multiple integer overflow flaws were found in Xpdf. If a local user generated a PDF file from a TeX document, referencing a specially crafted PDF file, it would cause Xpdf to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running pdflatex. (CVE-2009-0791, CVE-2009-3609) All users of tetex are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported patches to correct these issues. last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 46310 published 2010-05-11 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2010-2019 and is owned by Tenable, Inc. or an Affiliate thereof. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/46310 title RHEL 3 : tetex (RHSA-2010:0401)
