Subject: tetex-bin: CAN-2005-0064 fix was incomplete
Date: Tue, 05 Apr 2005 22:06:04 +0200
[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
Package: tetex-bin
Version: 2.0.2-27
Severity: grave
Tags: security patch
Justification: user security hole

Dear TeX maintainers,
the patch you used to fix CAN-2005-0064 in -26 seems to have been derived from
xpdf 3.00-12, which unfortunately was missing a portion of the security fix
(the one that is referenced as xpdf 3.00pl3 at the xpdf website, this has been
fixed in xpdf 3.00-13). Attached patch provides the necessary fix for the
tetex-bin package.

Cheers,
        Moritz

Hi!

tetex-bin is not affected by the keyLength patch, since encryption is
disabled in tetex-bin and the relevant part of XRef.cc is not even
compiled.

Please close this bug.

Thanks,

Martin
