Descriptions

Heap-based buffer overflow in the AFM font parser in the dvi-backend component in Evince 2.32 and earlier, teTeX 3.0, t1lib 5.1.2, and possibly other products 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.

Desbordamiento de búfer basado en memoria dinámica en el validador de fuentes AFM (AFM font parser) en el componente dvi-backend de Evince v2.32 y anteriores, permite a atacantes remotos provocar una denegación de servicio (caída de la aplicación) o puede que ejecutar código de su elección a través de una fuente manipulada junto con un fichero DVI que es procesado por el thumbnailer.

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in T1Lib, the worst of which could lead to remote execution of arbitrary code. Versions less than 5.1.2-r1 are affected.
