-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

=====================================================================
Red Hat Security Advisory

Synopsis: Moderate: tetex security update
Advisory ID: RHSA-2010:0401-01
Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux
Advisory URL: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2010-0401.html
Issue date: 2010-05-06
CVE Names: CVE-2007-5935 CVE-2009-0791 CVE-2009-3609
CVE-2010-0739 CVE-2010-0827 CVE-2010-1440
=====================================================================

1. Summary:

Updated tetex packages that fix multiple security issues are now available
for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3.

The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having moderate
security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base scores,
which give detailed severity ratings, are available for each vulnerability
from the CVE links in the References section.

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

Red Hat Desktop version 3 - i386, x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS version 3 - i386, ia64, ppc, s390, s390x, x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES version 3 - i386, ia64, x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS version 3 - i386, ia64, x86_64

3. Description:

teTeX is an implementation of TeX. TeX takes a text file and a set of
formatting commands as input, and creates a typesetter-independent DeVice
Independent (DVI) file as output.

A buffer overflow flaw was found in the way teTeX processed virtual font
files when converting DVI files into PostScript. An attacker could create a
malicious DVI file that would cause the dvips executable to crash or,
potentially, execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2010-0827)

Multiple integer overflow flaws were found in the way teTeX processed
special commands when converting DVI files into PostScript. An attacker
could create a malicious DVI file that would cause the dvips executable to
crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2010-0739,
CVE-2010-1440)

A stack-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the way teTeX processed DVI
files containing HyperTeX references with long titles, when converting them
into PostScript. An attacker could create a malicious DVI file that would
cause the dvips executable to crash. (CVE-2007-5935)

teTeX embeds a copy of Xpdf, an open source Portable Document Format (PDF)
file viewer, to allow adding images in PDF format to the generated PDF
documents. The following issues affect Xpdf code:

Multiple integer overflow flaws were found in Xpdf. If a local user
generated a PDF file from a TeX document, referencing a specially-crafted
PDF file, it would cause Xpdf to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary
code with the privileges of the user running pdflatex. (CVE-2009-0791,
CVE-2009-3609)

All users of tetex are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
contain backported patches to correct these issues.

4. Solution:

Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to
use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at
http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/docs/DOC-11259

5. Bugs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/):

368591 - CVE-2007-5935 dvips -z buffer overflow with long href
491840 - CVE-2009-0791 xpdf: multiple integer overflows
526893 - CVE-2009-3609 xpdf/poppler: ImageStream::ImageStream integer overflow
572914 - CVE-2010-0827 tetex, texlive: Buffer overflow flaw by processing virtual font files
