BibTeX is prone to a memory-corruption vulnerability because it fails to properly handle excessively large '.bib' files.
Remote attackers may leverage this issue to cause denial-of-service conditions. Given the nature of this issue, attackers may also be able to execute code, but this has not been confirmed.
NOTE: BibTeX may be shipped with various packages, such as TeTeX or TexLive, that may also be vulnerable.
