The tetex packages (teTeX) contain an implementation of TeX for Linux or
UNIX systems.
A buffer overflow flaw was found in the Gfx::doImage function of Xpdf which
also affects teTeX due to a shared codebase. An attacker could construct a
carefully crafted PDF file that could cause teTeX to crash or possibly
execute arbitrary code when opened. The Common Vulnerabilities and
Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2004-1125 to
this issue.
A buffer overflow flaw was found in the Decrypt::makeFileKey2 function of
Xpdf which also affects teTeX due to a shared codebase. An attacker could

Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2005-0064 to
this issue.
Users should update to these erratum packages which contain backported
patches to correct these issues.
