Bug#303288: tetex-bin: CAN-2005-0064 fix was incomplete
Package: tetex-bin
Version: 2.0.2-27
Severity: grave
Tags: security patch
Justification: user security hole
Dear TeX maintainers,
the patch you used to fix CAN-2005-0064 in -26 seems to have been derived from
xpdf 3.00-12, which unfortunately was missing a portion of the security fix
(the one that is referenced as xpdf 3.00pl3 at the xpdf website, this has been
fixed in xpdf 3.00-13). Attached patch provides the necessary fix for the
tetex-bin package.
Cheers,
Moritz
