Full Text Bug Listing

Hamid Ebadi has reported a vulnerability in t1lib, which can be exploited by
malicious users to potentially compromise a vulnerable system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within the
"intT1_EnvGetCompletePath()" function in lib/t1lib/t1env.c. This can be
exploited to cause a buffer overflow when an application processes an overly
long string in the "FileName" parameter.

The vulnerability is reported in version 5.1.1. Other versions may also be
affected.

Advisory mentions 5.1.1, but our last version (5.0.2) is also affected. Ubuntu
released a patch for this: 
http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/t/t1lib/t1lib_5.1.0-2ubuntu0.6.06.1.diff.gz

The relevant part should be:

Fonts, please provide an updated ebuild. and maybe combine this with bug
130362.

media-libs/t1lib-5.0.2-r1 and t1lib-5.1.1 are in the tree.  5.0.2-r1 is the
target for stabilization.  thanks.

Ubuntu mentions CVE-2007-4033 with this bug, but I doubt that is correct.
If so, we should request a name for this issue.

Thanks Ryan.
Arches, please test and mark stable media-libs/t1lib-5.0.2-r1.

[glsa] then.

GLSA 200710-12

A tree audit revealed that this never got stabled on HPPA.

Arches, please test and mark stable:
=media-libs/t1lib-5.0.2-r1
Target keywords : "alpha amd64 arm hppa ia64 ppc ppc64 s390 sh sparc x86"
Already stabled : "alpha amd64 arm ia64 ppc ppc64 s390 sh sparc x86"
Missing keywords: "hppa"

Looks like I stabilised the ChangeLog back then. HPPA is all done now. :)

thanks, closing again.
