Multiple stack-based buffer overflows in mimetex.cgi in mimeTeX, when downloaded before 20090713, allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a TeX file with long (1) picture, (2) circle, or (3) input tags.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old but serious issue in mimeTeX's mimetex.cgi. If an exposed website still uses a copy downloaded before 2009-07-13, a remote attacker could potentially crash it or run code through oversized TeX input. Business urgency depends on whether that legacy CGI is still internet-accessible. Exposure is likely limited to legacy sites, applications, or packages still serving mimetex.cgi for TeX-to-image rendering. Public CGI deployment increases risk. The bundle does not identify specific supported product versions beyond mimeTeX copies downloaded before 2009-07-13. Prioritize discovery first. If mimetex.cgi is public and old, remediate promptly because the stated impact is remote code execution. If not present or not exposed, track as legacy cleanup rather than an emergency. Mitigation focus: Inventory internet-facing hosts for mimetex.cgi and mimeTeX deployments.; Remove or disable exposed CGI endpoints that are no longer required.; Replace pre-2009-07-13 mimeTeX copies following vendor or distribution guidance..
