Full Text Bug Listing

Buffer overflow in the open_sty function in mkind.c for makeindex 2.14 in teTeX
might allow user-assisted remote attackers to overwrite files and possibly
execute arbitrary code via a long filename. NOTE: other overflows exist but
might not be exploitable, such as a heap-based overflow in the check_idx
function.

CCign herd

not all issues are patched according to
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=225491

Fixes for rPath are out.

any news here?

text-markup, any news here?

py, this is maintained by the tex herd in the meantime.

Fixed in app-text/tetex-3.0_p1-r4.

Thanks rbu. Arches, please test and mark stable app-text/tetex-3.0_p1-r4.
Target keywords are: "alpha amd64 arm hppa ia64 m68k ppc ppc64 s390 sh sparc
x86 ~x86-fbsd"

py: shouldn't this bug also block bug 188172?

x86 stable and I added a other_bugs as suggested by rbu.

alpha/ia64 stable

ppc64 stable

Stable for HPPA.

During the merging I saw the message:
"/usr/portage/eclass/tetex-3.eclass: line 36: tetex_pkg_setup: command not
found"

tetex-3.eclass run the function tetex_pkg_setup which is inherited from
tetex.eclass. Problem is that QA remove the whole function as you can see in
bug #156213.

Please remove it from tetex-3.eclass (if is no longer needed).

Any chance to get it solved before marking tetex as stable?

Wrt. bug #189716 (upstream changed the tarball with no bump) thus far two arch
maintainers on this bug has stabled the wrong tarball. For the remaining arch
teams do make sure to fetch the right tarball before stabilizing.. ;)

To be more specific. Please make sure your Manifest contains:

Tested the new tarball, works fine.

Thanks, sparc stable.

amd64 stable

Please make sure the manifest is correct when stabilising this bug :) It caused
me  about 600MB of download that I know of so far re-downloading the file so it
does have an impact on users.

See bug #189716

All security supported arches done, glsa should be emitted combining this bug
with bug 182055 and bug 188172.

I'd also bet on the outcome, but shouldn't there be a vote?

nope, not with B2 ;-)

GLSA 200709-17, thanks everybody and sorry for the delay.

Isn't cstetex (last version - app-text/cstetex-2.0.2-r2) also affected by this
bug ?
