- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Debian Security Advisory DSA-1917-1 security@debian.org http://www.debian.org/security/ Giuseppe Iuculano October 24, 2009 http://www.debian.org/security/faq - ------------------------------------------------------------------------
Package : mimetex Vulnerability : several vulnerabilities Problem type : remote (local) Debian-specific: no Debian bug : 537254 CVE Ids : CVE-2009-1382 CVE-2009-2459
Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in mimetex, a lightweight alternative to MathML. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems:
CVE-2009-1382
Chris Evans and Damien Miller, discovered multiple stack-based buffer overflow. An attacker could execute arbitrary code via a TeX file with long picture, circle, input tags.
CVE-2009-2459
Chris Evans discovered that mimeTeX contained certain directives that may be unsuitable for handling untrusted user input. A remote attacker can obtain sensitive information.
For the oldstable distribution (etch), these problems have been fixed in version 1.50-1+etch1.
Due to a bug in the archive system, the fix for the stable distribution (lenny) will be released as version 1.50-1+lenny1 once it is available.
For the testing distribution (squeeze), and the unstable distribution (sid), these problems have been fixed in version 1.50-1.1.
We recommend that you upgrade your mimetex packages.
