+ Mark Richters discovered a buffer overflow in the open_sty() function
+ in file mkind.c. Other vulnerabilities have also been discovered in the
+ same file but might not be exploitable (CVE-2007-0650). Tetex also
+ includes vulnerable code from GD library (GLSA 200708-05), and from
+ Xpdf (CVE-2007-3387).

+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ A remote attacker could entice a user to process a specially crafted
+ PNG, GIF or PDF file, or to execute "makeindex" on an overly long
+ filename. In both cases, this could lead to the remote execution of
+ arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All teTeX users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=app-text/tetex-3.0_p1-r4"</code>
