Fedora 27: 2017-c448cf31d6 Critical: Transfig Array Index Issue

The transfig utility creates a makefile which translates FIG (created

by xfig) or PIC figures into a specified LaTeX graphics language (for

example, PostScript(TM)). Transfig is used to create TeX documents

which are portable (i.e., they can be printed in a wide variety of

environments).

Install transfig if you need a utility for translating FIG or PIC

figures into certain graphics languages.
