Title:RHSA-2007:1028: tetex security update (Important)
Description: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.

  • Alin Rad Pop discovered a flaw in the handling of PDF files. An attacker could create a malicious PDF file that would cause TeTeX to crash, or potentially execute arbitrary code when opened. (CVE-2007-5393)

    Users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported patches to resolve these issues.
