CentOS Errata and Security Advisory CESA-2007:0731

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

Maurycy Prodeus discovered an integer overflow flaw in the processing
of PDF files. An attacker could create a malicious PDF file that would
cause TeTeX to crash or potentially execute arbitrary code when opened.
(CVE-2007-3387)

All users of TeTeX should upgrade to these updated packages, which
contain a backported patch to resolve this issue.
