tetex needs updating because it includes vulnerable xpdf code. See bug 185225 for a patch.

After talking to aballier, I just committed app-text/tetex-3.0_p1-r4 that should fix this issue.

I also cleaned out old versions of tetex-3, but 2 probably still contains vulnerable code. Pylon said he'd look into what needs 2.0 before that can be cleaned out.

any updates about the 2.x series?

Not from me. Pylon, does anything still need it?

AFAIK we can clean out tetex-2 from the tree.  The only thing that holds us back is stabilising some ebuilds.  Let me create a list tomorrow.

Ok, so I guess we can just mark > 3.0_p1-r4 as unaffected, and < vulnerable (so including all 2.x series too, but since it will be removed soon it's no problem). is it ok with you?
