--------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2004-584 2005-01-06 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Product : Fedora Core 2 Name : tetex Version : 2.0.2 Release : 14FC2.1 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. --------------------------------------------------------------------- * Tue Nov 09 2004 Jindrich Novy <jnovy@xxxxxxxxxx> 2.0.2-14FC2.1 - Fix CAN-2004-1125 xpdf overflows. * Tue Nov 09 2004 Jindrich Novy <jnovy@xxxxxxxxxx> 2.0.2-14FC2 - Add xpdf overflow security patch (CESA-2004-007) --------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be downloaded from: http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/2/ 14bcf3cb94172a8fec405166e904f477 SRPMS/tetex-2.0.2-14FC2.1.src.rpm cf4249542063afad9a64849fa6a5c3b8 x86_64/tetex-2.0.2-14FC2.1.x86_64.rpm 64b36e00a314bfe8e832708364c449ec x86_64/tetex-latex-2.0.2-14FC2.1.x86_64.rpm 662f8c9f9c36e8a2ac646ec4a662b358 x86_64/tetex-xdvi-2.0.2-14FC2.1.x86_64.rpm 56ae4a2055677d35a08df45aa203dedc x86_64/tetex-dvips-2.0.2-14FC2.1.x86_64.rpm 3b08fda494d8db9b182b267c5fac65fc x86_64/tetex-afm-2.0.2-14FC2.1.x86_64.rpm 60b41eb32432ae86eb161e6acbd21312 x86_64/tetex-fonts-2.0.2-14FC2.1.x86_64.rpm 681d654ae8d1487ddc63d2ac664125fc x86_64/tetex-doc-2.0.2-14FC2.1.x86_64.rpm 00f7a420bd92d74d7ce6727dbd75e3a2 x86_64/debug/tetex-debuginfo-2.0.2-14FC2.1.x86_64.rpm dc2bd2ee63df05de037bd49d253c4def i386/tetex-2.0.2-14FC2.1.i386.rpm e3159dfd0e43c77b9af20a5bec5b8f2e i386/tetex-latex-2.0.2-14FC2.1.i386.rpm f23a92930c01795278a1adf6376970a5 i386/tetex-xdvi-2.0.2-14FC2.1.i386.rpm c8de010d4e7ab324a834bbaedfa7fc7f i386/tetex-dvips-2.0.2-14FC2.1.i386.rpm eb9d19121ac9eb703691dc2273593109 i386/tetex-afm-2.0.2-14FC2.1.i386.rpm b3cc536693c014a3d3e0b8dea88486bd i386/tetex-fonts-2.0.2-14FC2.1.i386.rpm f6f5895547d91f495fc84c434ae766d0 i386/tetex-doc-2.0.2-14FC2.1.i386.rpm 28d7cde3b110ea601322898d100f1d91 i386/debug/tetex-debuginfo-2.0.2-14FC2.1.i386.rpm This update can also be installed with the Update Agent; you can launch the Update Agent with the 'up2date' command. ---------------------------------------------------------------------
