Fedora Update Notification
FEDORA-2004-584
2005-01-03
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Product : Fedora Core 2
Name : tetex
Version : 2.0.2
Release : 14FC2.1
Summary : The TeX text formatting system.
Description :
TeTeX is an implementation of TeX for Linux or UNIX systems. TeX takes
a text file and a set of formatting commands as input and creates a
typesetter-independent .dvi (DeVice Independent) file as output.
Usually, TeX is used in conjunction with a higher level formatting
package like LaTeX or PlainTeX, since TeX by itself is not very
user-friendly.
Install tetex if you want to use the TeX text formatting system. If
you are installing tetex, you will also need to install tetex-afm (a
PostScript(TM) font converter for TeX),
tetex-dvips (for converting .dvi files to PostScript format
for printing on PostScript printers), tetex-latex (a higher level
formatting package which provides an easier-to-use interface for TeX),
and tetex-xdvi (for previewing .dvi files in X). Unless you are an
expert at using TeX, you should also install the tetex-doc package,
which includes the documentation for TeX.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:
The updated tetex package fixes a buffer overflow which allows attackers
to cause the internal xpdf library used by applications in tetex to
crash,
and possibly to execute arbitrary code. The Common Vulnerabilities and
Exposures projects (
cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2004-1125
to this issue.
