Descriptions

Multiple off-by-one errors in the (1) token and (2) linetoken functions in backend/dvi/mdvi-lib/afmparse.c in t1lib, as used in teTeX 3.0.x, GNOME evince, and possibly other products, allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a DVI file containing a crafted Adobe Font Metrics (AFM) file, different vulnerabilities than CVE-2010-2642 and CVE-2011-0433.

Multiples errores off-by-one en las funciones (1) token y (2) linetoken en backend/dvi/MDVI-lib/afmparse.c en t1lib, tal y como se utiliza en teTeX v3.0.x, GNOME Evince, y posiblemente otros productos, permite a atacantes remotos provocar una denegación de servicio (caída de la aplicación) y posiblemente ejecutar código de su elección a través de un archivo que contiene un fichero DVI hecho a mano que contiene un archivo Adobe Font Metrics (AFM). Se trata de una vulnerabilidad diferente a CVE-2010-2642 y CVE-2011-0433.
