CVE-ID : CVE-2018-17407
Package : texlive-bin
Type : arbitrary code execution
Remote : No
Link : https://security.archlinux.org/AVG-770
The package texlive-bin before version 2018.48691-1 is vulnerable to
arbitrary code execution.
Upgrade to 2018.48691-1.
The problem has been fixed upstream in version 2018.48691.
None.
An issue was discovered in t1_check_unusual_charstring functions in
writet1.c files in TeX Live before 2018-09-21. A buffer overflow in the
handling of Type 1 fonts allows arbitrary code execution when a
malicious font is loaded by one of the vulnerable tools: pdflatex,
pdftex, dvips, or luatex.
A local attacker can execute arbitrary code via a crafted font.
