Issue date:	2011-01-06

CVE Names:	CVE-2010-2640 CVE-2010-2641 CVE-2010-2642

                   CVE-2010-2643



An array index error was found in the DeVice Independent (DVI) 

renderer's PK and VF font file parsers. A DVI file that references a 

specially-crafted font file could, when opened, cause Evince to crash 

or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user 

running Evince. (CVE-2010-2640, CVE-2010-2641)



A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the DVI renderer's AFM 

font file parser. A DVI file that references a specially-crafted font 

file could, when opened, cause Evince to crash or, potentially, execute

arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running Evince.

(CVE-2010-2642)



An integer overflow flaw was found in the DVI renderer's TFM font file

parser. A DVI file that references a specially-crafted font file could,

when opened, cause Evince to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary 

code with the privileges of the user running Evince. (CVE-2010-2643)



Note: The above issues are not exploitable unless an attacker can trick 

the user into installing a malicious font file.
