Heap-based buffer overflow in the AFM font parser in the dvi-backend component in Evince 2.32 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted font in conjunction with a DVI file that is processed by the thumbnailer (CVE-2010-2642). Integer overflow in the TFM font parser in the dvi-backend component in Evince 2.32 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted font in conjunction with a DVI file that is processed by the thumbnailer (CVE-2010-2643). The updated packages have been patched to correct these issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
