Description: Immunix has issued updated packages for tetex. These fix a vulnerability, which potentially can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system. The problem is that the "system()" function is used insecurely. This makes it possible for a malicious person to create DVI files, which can execute arbitrary code as the print user (lp). Some issues with "psutils" and "w3c-libwww" have also been corrected. Solution: Updated package (Immunix 7+): http://download.immunix.org/ImmunixOS.../RPMS/psutils-1.17-13_imnx_1.i386.rpm http://download.immunix.org/ImmunixOS...RPMS/tetex-1.0.7-47.1_imnx_1.i386.rpm http://download.immunix.org/ImmunixOS.../tetex-afm-1.0.7-47.1_imnx_1.i386.rpm http://download.immunix.org/ImmunixOS.../tetex-doc-1.0.7-47.1_imnx_1.i386.rpm http://download.immunix.org/ImmunixOS...etex-dvilj-1.0.7-47.1_imnx_1.i386.rpm http://download.immunix.org/ImmunixOS...etex-dvips-1.0.7-47.1_imnx_1.i386.rpm http://download.immunix.org/ImmunixOS...etex-fonts-1.0.7-47.1_imnx_1.i386.rpm http://download.immunix.org/ImmunixOS...etex-latex-1.0.7-47.1_imnx_1.i386.rpm http://download.immunix.org/ImmunixOS...tetex-xdvi-1.0.7-47.1_imnx_1.i386.rpm http://download.immunix.org/ImmunixOS.../w3c-libwww-5.3.2-5_imnx_0.1.i386.rpm http://download.immunix.org/ImmunixOS...libwww-apps-5.3.2-5_imnx_0.1.i386.rpm http://download.immunix.org/ImmunixOS...ibwww-devel-5.3.2-5_imnx_0.1.i386.rpm Source packages: http://download.immunix.org/ImmunixOS.../SRPMS/psutils-1.17-13_imnx_1.src.rpm http://download.immunix.org/ImmunixOS...SRPMS/tetex-1.0.7-47.1_imnx_1.src.rpm http://download.immunix.org/ImmunixOS...S/w3c-libwww-5.3.2-5_imnx_0.1.src.rpm Original Advisory: http://mail.wirex.com/pipermail/immunix-users/2003-June:/0772.html
