Slackware 10.2: 2006:142-01 Critical: teTeX PDF Execution Risk

Here are the details from the Slackware 10.2 ChangeLog: patches/packages/tetex-3.0-i486-2_10.2.tgz: Regenerated the etex.fmt files with etex, not pdfetex. This is more appropriate since etex is a binary, not a link to pdfetex. Thanks to John Breckenridge for reporting the issue. Added --disable-a4, and fixed the texconfig for US paper default in the build script. Thanks to Marc Benstein and Jingmin Zhou for reporting this. Improved /tmp use security. Patched a possible security issue in library code borrowed from xpdf that's used in pdfetex. For more information, see: https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2005-3193 (* Security fix *)
