+               <desc>Some vulnerabilities have been reported in teTeX, which 
can be exploited by malicious, local users to disclose and manipulate sensitive 
information and by malicious people to potentially compromise a vulnerable 
system.
+                       1) A boundary error in dvips can be exploited to cause 
a stack-based buffer overflow when a user is tricked into opening a specially 
crafted DVI file containing an overly long hypertext reference.
+                       Successful exploitation requires that dvips is invoked 
with the "-z" option.
+                       2) Some boundary errors in dviljk can be exploited to 
cause buffer overflows when a user is enticed to print a specially crafted DVI 
file.
+                       Successful exploitation of vulnerabilities #1 and #2 
may allow execution of arbitrary code.
+                       3) An error due to dvips using the insecure "tmpnam()" 
function when converting DVI files can potentially be exploited to disclose and 
modify sensitive information.</desc>
