The flaw was found in a function used by Texinfo's texi2dvi(1) and texindex(1) commands. An attacker could construct a carefully crafted Texinfo file that could cause texi2dvi(1) or texindex(1) to crash or possibly execute arbitrary code when opened. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) project assigned the id CVE-2006-4810 [2] to the problem. ________________________________________________________________________ References: [0] https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2006-0727.html [1] http://www.gnu.org/software/texinfo/ [2] http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-4810 ________________________________________________________________________ For security reasons, this advisory was digitally signed with the OpenPGP public key "OpenPKG <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>" (ID 63C4CB9F) which you can retrieve from http://openpkg.org/openpkg.org.pgp.
