RedHat Update for tetex RHSA-2010:0399-01. teTeX is an implementation of TeX. A buffer overflow flaw, multiple integer overflow flaws, and several heap-based buffer overflow flaws were found in the way teTeX processed DVI files when converting them into PostScript. Also, various vulnerabilities were discovered in Xpdf, which is embedded in teTeX. These vulnerabilities could potentially execute arbitrary code or crash the executable, presenting a security risk to the system. The affected systems include Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS version 4, Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES version 4, and Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS version 4

tag_insight = "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's JBIG2 decoder. 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-2009-0147, CVE-2009-1179)
  
  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)
  
  A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in Xpdf's JBIG2 decoder. 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.
