  - CVE-2005-3011
    Handling of temporary files is performed in an insecure
    manner, allowing an attacker to overwrite any file
    writable by the victim.

  - CVE-2006-4810
    A buffer overflow in util/texindex.c could allow an
    attacker to execute arbitrary code with the victim's
    access rights by inducing the victim to run texindex or
    tex2dvi on a specially crafted texinfo file."

For the stable distribution (sarge), these problems have been fixed in
version 4.7-2.2sarge2. Note that binary packages for the mipsel
architecture are not currently available due to technical problems
with the build host. These packages will be made available as soon as
possible.

For unstable (sid) and the upcoming stable release (etch), these
problems have been fixed in version 4.8.dfsg.1-4."
