teTeX Mkind.C Remote Buffer Overflow Vulnerability
teTeX is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to sufficiently perform boundary checks on user-supplied input before copying it to an insufficiently sized memory buffer. Remote attackers may exploit this issue by enticing victims into opening a malicious file using the affected application. Attackers can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of an unsuspecting user. A successful attack can facilitate the compromise of vulnerable computers. Failed exploit attempts will likely result in denial-of-service conditions. This issue affects teTeX 2.0.2 and 3.0.0; other versions may also be vulnerable. |
