dvips -z buffer overflow with long href

Stack-based buffer overflow in hpc.c in dvips in teTeX and TeXlive 2007 and earlier allows user-assisted attackers to execute arbitrary code via a DVI file with a long href tag.

dviljk uses insecure temporary file

dvips in teTeX and TeXlive 2007 and earlier allows local users to obtain sensitive information and modify certain data by creating certain temporary files before they are processed by dviljk, which can then be read or modified in place.

Multiple dviljk buffer overflows

Multiple buffer overflows in dvi2xx.c in dviljk in teTeX and TeXlive 2007 and earlier might allow user-assisted attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted DVI input file.

feynmf.pl in feynmf 1.08, as used in TeXLive 2007, allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files and execute arbitrary code via a symlink attack on the feynmf$$.pl temporary file.

texlive rpm scriptlet allows unprivileged user to delete arbitrary files

The pre-install script in texlive 3.1.20140525_r34255.fc21 as packaged in Fedora 21 and rpm, and texlive 6.20131226_r32488.fc20 and rpm allows local users to delete arbitrary files via a crafted file in the user's home directory.

texlive: insecure use of /tmp in mktexlsr

mktexlsr revision 22855 through revision 36625 as packaged in texlive allows local users to write to arbitrary files via a symlink attack.

texlive: insecure use of /tmp in mktexlsr

mktexlsr revision 36855, and before revision 36626 as packaged in texlive allows local users to write to arbitrary files via a symlink attack. NOTE: this vulnerability exists due to the reversion of a fix of CVE-2015-5700.
