[GLSA-200501-31] teTeX, pTeX, CSTeX: Multiple vulnerabilities |

teTeX, pTeX, CSTeX: Multiple vulnerabilities Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200501-31 (teTeX, pTeX, CSTeX: Multiple vulnerabilities) teTeX, pTeX and CSTeX all make use of Xpdf code and may therefore be vulnerable to the various overflows that were discovered in Xpdf code (CVE-2004-0888, CVE-2004-0889, CVE-2004-1125 and CVE-2005-0064). Furthermore, Javier Fernandez-Sanguino Pena discovered that the xdvizilla script does not handle temporary files correctly. Impact A possible hacker could design a malicious input file which, when processed using one of the TeX distributions, could lead to the execution of arbitrary code. Furthermore, a local attacker could create symbolic links in the temporary files directory, pointing to a valid file somewhere on the filesystem. When xdvizilla is called, this would result in the file being overwritten with the rights of the user running the script. Workaround There is no known workaround at this time.
