The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems: CVE-2009-1382 Chris Evans and Damien Miller, discovered multiple stack-based buffer overflow. An attacker could execute arbitrary code via a TeX file with long picture, circle, input tags. CVE-2009-2459 Chris Evans discovered that mimeTeX contained certain directives that may be unsuitable for handling untrusted user input. A remote attacker can obtain sensitive information. For the oldstable distribution (etch), these problems have been fixed in version 1.50-1+etch1. Due to a bug in the archive system, the fix for the stable distribution (lenny) will be released as version 1.50-1+lenny1 once it is available. For the testing distribution (squeeze), and the unstable distribution (sid), these problems have been fixed in version 1.50-1.1. We recommend that you upgrade your mimetex packages. Upgrade instructions - -------------------- wget url will fetch the file for you dpkg -i file.deb will install the referenced file. If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for sources.list as given below: apt-get update will update the internal database apt-get upgrade will install corrected packages You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the footer to the proper configuration.
