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: [link moved to references]");
