Debian Security Advisory DSA-1219-1 security@debian.org
http://www.debian.org/security/ Noah Meyerhans

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
Package : texinfo
Vulnerability : buffer overflow
Problem type : local
Debian-specific: no
CVE Id(s) : CVE-2005-3011 CVE-2006-4810
BugTraq ID : 14854 20959
Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in the GNU texinfo package, a
documentation system for on-line information and printed output.
CVE-2005-3011
Handling of temporary files is performed in an insecure manner, allowing
an attacker to overwrite any file writable by the victim.
CVE-2006-4810
A buffer overflow in util/texindex.c could allow an attacker to execute
arbitrary code with the victim's access rights by inducing the victim to
run texindex or tex2dvi on a specially crafted texinfo file.
For the stable distribution (sarge), these problems have been fixed in
version 4.7-2.2sarge2 Note that binary packages for the mipsel
architecture are not currently available due to technical problems with
the build host. These packages will be made available as soon as
possible.
For unstable (sid) and the upcoming stable release (etch), these
problems have been fixed in version 4.8.dfsg.1-4
We recommend that you upgrade your texinfo package.
