--------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2004-585 2005-01-03 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Product : Fedora Core 3 Name : tetex Version : 2.0.2 Release : 21.2 Summary : The TeX text formatting system. Description : TeTeX is an implementation of TeX for Linux or UNIX systems. TeX takes a text file and a set of formatting commands as input and creates a typesetter-independent .dvi (DeVice Independent) file as output. Usually, TeX is used in conjunction with a higher level formatting package like LaTeX or PlainTeX, since TeX by itself is not very user-friendly. Install tetex if you want to use the TeX text formatting system. If you are installing tetex, you will also need to install tetex-afm (a PostScript(TM) font converter for TeX), tetex-dvips (for converting .dvi files to PostScript format for printing on PostScript printers), tetex-latex (a higher level formatting package which provides an easier-to-use interface for TeX), and tetex-xdvi (for previewing .dvi files in X). Unless you are an expert at using TeX, you should also install the tetex-doc package, which includes the documentation for TeX. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: The updated tetex package fixes a buffer overflow which allows attackers to cause the internal xpdf library used by applications in tetex to crash, and possibly to execute arbitrary code. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures projects (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2004-1125 to this issue. --------------------------------------------------------------------- * Mon Dec 27 2004 Jindrich Novy <jnovy@xxxxxxxxxx> 2.0.2-21.2 - Fix CAN-2004-1125 xpdf overflow --------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be downloaded from: http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/3/ bed96f12e8b704ab17f565ff04a7c4f9 SRPMS/tetex-2.0.2-21.2.src.rpm 2fb48ee61a8ece3bc8a10dda310346b8 x86_64/tetex-2.0.2-21.2.x86_64.rpm eff9c7833844595b3cd7e64debdbd7eb x86_64/tetex- latex-2.0.2-21.2.x86_64.rpm dd14c8de2086063383d11e5b53e537af x86_64/tetex- xdvi-2.0.2-21.2.x86_64.rpm 38e520d0ae06f09b3317ce26ed0e1aeb x86_64/tetex- dvips-2.0.2-21.2.x86_64.rpm 0e739680d044d73882ff0731b26f378f x86_64/tetex-afm-2.0.2-21.2.x86_64.rpm 36e18f7405ce3fb7b54e3fa639de11b4 x86_64/tetex- fonts-2.0.2-21.2.x86_64.rpm 929fee56d78fe31605b32861258fd827 x86_64/tetex-doc-2.0.2-21.2.x86_64.rpm 92a801ec36ca13de833208b712b87acd x86_64/debug/tetex- debuginfo-2.0.2-21.2.x86_64.rpm 5efacdad82d61ed25030269b6c89abfe i386/tetex-2.0.2-21.2.i386.rpm e249065b4ff83339a52cf4ee67b5931d i386/tetex-latex-2.0.2-21.2.i386.rpm aee5e12bc7c8349ab06f0f3ebe8eab5f i386/tetex-xdvi-2.0.2-21.2.i386.rpm 14ea742121160307adbbcf37c4a3401a i386/tetex-dvips-2.0.2-21.2.i386.rpm 49967d06270603a146d9f8d27eaaf08c i386/tetex-afm-2.0.2-21.2.i386.rpm 569591b26e0cab205c87f112756212c9 i386/tetex-fonts-2.0.2-21.2.i386.rpm 7ec42e9568ec05ed17b5ad708286bd0d i386/tetex-doc-2.0.2-21.2.i386.rpm d9483991ce1585e0d1cb4999bf4c8bec i386/debug/tetex- debuginfo-2.0.2-21.2.i386.rpm This update can also be installed with the Update Agent; you can launch the Update Agent with the 'up2date' command. ---------------------------------------------------------------------
