Synopsis ========
Texinfo is vulnerable to a buffer overflow that could lead to the execution of arbitrary code.
Background ==========
Texinfo is the official documentation system of the GNU project.
Affected packages =================
------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 sys-apps/texinfo < 4.8-r5 >= 4.8-r5
Description ===========
Miloslav Trmac from Red Hat discovered a buffer overflow in the "readline()" function of texindex.c. The "readline()" function is called by the texi2dvi and texindex commands.
Impact ======
By enticing a user to open a specially crafted Texinfo file, an attacker could execute arbitrary code with the rights of the user running Texinfo.
Workaround ==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution ==========
All Texinfo users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=sys-apps/texinfo-4.8-r5"
