Description Jan Lieskovsky 2010-03-16 11:55:05 UTC 
Dan Rosenberg reported multiple instances of an array index
error in the way TeX text formatting system translated
typesetter-independent .dvi (DeVice Independent) files into
their Portable Network Graphics (PNG) alternatives. If a user
was tricked into translation of a specially-crafted DVI file(s)
into its PNG equivalent(s), it could lead to dvipng executable crash.
Comment 6 Jan Lieskovsky 2010-03-16 16:06:29 UTC 
These issues did NOT affect the versions of the tetex package,
as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 and 4.

These issues affect the version of the tetex package, as shipped
with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

These issues affect the versions of the dvipng package, as shipped
with Fedora release of 11 and 12.
