Synopsis: Moderate: evince security update
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.
