PTeX is a TeX distribution with Japanese support. It is used for
|
|
creating and manipulating LaTeX documents.

<p>
|
|
Multiple issues were found in the teTeX 2 codebase that PTeX builds
|
|
upon (GLSA 200709-17, GLSA 200711-26). PTeX also includes vulnerable
|
|
code from the GD library (GLSA 200708-05), from Xpdf (GLSA 200709-12,
|
|
GLSA 200711-22) and from T1Lib (GLSA 200710-12).

<impact type="normal">
|
|
<p>
|
|
Remote attackers could possibly execute arbitrary code and local
|
|
attackers could possibly overwrite arbitrary files with the privileges
|
|
of the user running PTeX via multiple vectors, e.g. enticing users to
|
|
open specially crafted files.
|

|
|
<workaround>
|
|
<p>
|
|
There is no known workaround at this time.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</workaround>
|
|
<resolution>
|
|
<p>
|
|
All PTeX users should upgrade to the latest version:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<code>
|
|
# emerge --sync
|
|
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-text/ptex-3.1.10_p20071203"</code>
