Detail
Nick Roessler from the University of Pennsylvania has found a buffer overflow in texlive-bin, the executables for TexLive, the popular distribution of TeX document production system. This buffer overflow can be used for arbitrary code execution by crafting a special type1 font (.pfb) and provide it to users running pdf(la)tex, dvips or luatex in a way that the font is loaded. For the stable distribution (stretch), this problem has been fixed in version 2016.20160513.41080.dfsg-2+deb9u1. We recommend that you upgrade your texlive-bin packages. For the detailed security status of texlive-bin please refer to its security tracker page at: https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/texlive-bin |
