Red Hat Security Advisory

 

Synopsis: Moderate: evince security update

Advisory ID: RHSA-2011:0009-01

Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux

Advisory URL: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2011-0009.html

Issue date: 2011-01-06

CVE Names: CVE-2010-2640 CVE-2010-2641 CVE-2010-2642

CVE-2010-2643

=====================================================================

 

1. Summary:

 

Updated evince packages that fix multiple security issues are now available

for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

 

The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having moderate

security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base scores,

which give detailed severity ratings, are available for each vulnerability

from the CVE links in the References section.

 

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

 

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop (v. 6) - i386, x86_64

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop Optional (v. 6) - i386, x86_64

Red Hat Enterprise Linux HPC Node Optional (v. 6) - x86_64

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server (v. 6) - i386, ppc64, s390x, x86_64

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server Optional (v. 6) - i386, ppc64, s390x, x86_64

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation (v. 6) - i386, x86_64

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation Optional (v. 6) - i386, x86_64

 

3. Description:

 

Evince is a document viewer.

 

An array index error was found in the DeVice Independent (DVI) renderer's

PK and VF font file parsers. A DVI file that references a specially-crafted

font file could, when opened, cause Evince to crash or, potentially,

execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running Evince.

(CVE-2010-2640, CVE-2010-2641)

 

A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the DVI renderer's AFM font

file parser. A DVI file that references a specially-crafted font file

could, when opened, cause Evince to crash or, potentially, execute

arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running Evince.

(CVE-2010-2642)

 

An integer overflow flaw was found in the DVI renderer's TFM font file

parser. A DVI file that references a specially-crafted font file could,

when opened, cause Evince to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code

with the privileges of the user running Evince. (CVE-2010-2643)

 

Note: The above issues are not exploitable unless an attacker can trick the

user into installing a malicious font file.

 

Red Hat would like to thank the Evince development team for reporting these

issues. Upstream acknowledges Jon Larimer of IBM X-Force as the original

reporter of these issues.

 

Users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a

backported patch to correct these issues.

 

4. Solution:

 

Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata

relevant to your system have been applied.

 

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to
