--------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2005-1126 2005-12-07 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Product : Fedora Core 4 Name : tetex Version : 3.0 Release : 7.FC4 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. The Red Hat tetex package also contains software related to Japanese support for teTeX such as ptex, what is not a part of teTeX project. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: Several flaws were discovered in Xpdf. An attacker could construct a carefully crafted PDF file that could cause Xpdf to crash or possibly execute arbitrary code when opened. The teTeX package contains a copy of the Xpdf code used for parsing PDF files and is therefore affected by this bug.The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project assigned the name CAN-2005-3193 to these issues. Users of teTeX should upgrade to this updated package, which contains a patch to resolve these issues. --------------------------------------------------------------------- * Wed Dec 7 2005 Jindrich Novy <jnovy@xxxxxxxxxx> 3.0-7.FC4 - apply patch from Derek Noonburg to fix CVE-2005-3193 xpdf overflows (#175110) --------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be downloaded from: http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/4/ c9c2edbfb432eab99adeb8d12eb0e428 SRPMS/tetex-3.0-7.FC4.src.rpm 89c83c91630e195891736ae8410308ef ppc/tetex-3.0-7.FC4.ppc.rpm 9f12ecf3e09412eb968d686c89500367 ppc/tetex-latex-3.0-7.FC4.ppc.rpm aac1f6547f024e7ccc35a1d917ea0956 ppc/tetex-xdvi-3.0-7.FC4.ppc.rpm 4ce4d696e627851dd50046f55ac4bde0 ppc/tetex-dvips-3.0-7.FC4.ppc.rpm c82cdf20e3decb6691d91a12b15f589b ppc/tetex-afm-3.0-7.FC4.ppc.rpm cf4c487e1edec55ba2c16af7ac5e1630 ppc/tetex-fonts-3.0-7.FC4.ppc.rpm 90a82c0d8708f7a7bb84a74c709a30c6 ppc/tetex-doc-3.0-7.FC4.ppc.rpm 88fecde9225ee34fe960940a654dd0f5 ppc/debug/tetex-debuginfo-3.0-7.FC4.ppc.rpm 4038c55cb0e62b16fca09333914b16ea x86_64/tetex-3.0-7.FC4.x86_64.rpm 4197a02a32c6b0be00a1c8b1115a8eb3 x86_64/tetex-latex-3.0-7.FC4.x86_64.rpm 04bdd2b1b9cc705a5ababff06cc7dbfa x86_64/tetex-xdvi-3.0-7.FC4.x86_64.rpm 29aa8350a9a8f7e09846b710f5cb4634 x86_64/tetex-dvips-3.0-7.FC4.x86_64.rpm f865247d37aa5679a06e7becae57de8d x86_64/tetex-afm-3.0-7.FC4.x86_64.rpm 1872fb9c98352a3d0147221d2a7c3c39 x86_64/tetex-fonts-3.0-7.FC4.x86_64.rpm 0f77f10463678ad413ca7aaa0c8760aa x86_64/tetex-doc-3.0-7.FC4.x86_64.rpm cf6a68c0041f1c0b482905a816f0c64c x86_64/debug/tetex-debuginfo-3.0-7.FC4.x86_64.rpm 49ac41b0799982af0c467191bf49b51a i386/tetex-3.0-7.FC4.i386.rpm a0dada19f3c39db557d0cecc194d3f4f i386/tetex-latex-3.0-7.FC4.i386.rpm ebd5dbed238fb43233f9cfaf9111a51b i386/tetex-xdvi-3.0-7.FC4.i386.rpm 53d0709df7a1105c6643d65e88a7b0b1 i386/tetex-dvips-3.0-7.FC4.i386.rpm 5bab1dd4df5f3b57915a777c6fdeb053 i386/tetex-afm-3.0-7.FC4.i386.rpm c85b4d01615ebd460e7f26345b560765 i386/tetex-fonts-3.0-7.FC4.i386.rpm 10e26b6f01f39716986b6581504ccfda i386/tetex-doc-3.0-7.FC4.i386.rpm 38772851a0226358d85ab8a5db3ab78d i386/debug/tetex-debuginfo-3.0-7.FC4.i386.rpm This update can also be installed with the Update Agent; you can launch the Update Agent with the 'up2date' command. --------------------------------------------------------------------- -- fedora-announce-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-announce-list
