Multiple array index errors in set.c in dvipng 1.11 and 1.12, and teTeX, allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a malformed DVI file.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2010-0829 affects DVI file processing in dvipng 1.11/1.12 and teTeX. A malformed DVI file can crash the application and may allow code execution. Business risk is highest where untrusted TeX/DVI documents are converted automatically. Exposure is most likely on legacy Linux systems, TeX installations, or document conversion services that still use dvipng 1.11, dvipng 1.12, or teTeX and accept DVI files from users or external sources. Treat as a targeted legacy exposure issue. Prioritize systems that process externally supplied documents, especially automated conversion pipelines, before lower-risk desktop-only installations. Mitigation focus: Check Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, and SUSE advisories for fixed package versions.; Update affected dvipng and teTeX packages through supported distribution channels.; Disable or restrict processing of untrusted DVI files until patched..
