CVE-2011-0433 (NVD)

2012-11-19

Heap-based buffer overflow in the linetoken function in afmparse.c in t1lib, as used in teTeX 3.0.x, GNOME evince, and possibly other products, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a DVI file containing a crafted Adobe Font Metrics (AFM) file, a different vulnerability than CVE-2010-2642.

Products Evince, T1lib, Tetex
Type Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer (CWE-119)
First patch - None (likely due to unavailable code)
