Mandriva Linux Security Advisory 2011-005 - Array index error in the PK and VF font parser in the dvi-backend component in Evince 2.32 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted font in conjunction with a DVI file that is processed by the thumbnailer. Heap-based buffer overflow in the AFM font parser in the dvi-backend component in Evince 2.32 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted font in conjunction with a DVI file that is processed by the thumbnailer. Integer overflow in the TFM font parser in the dvi-backend component in Evince 2.32 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted font in conjunction with a DVI file that is processed by the thumbnailer. The updated packages have been patched to correct these issues.

Ubuntu Security Notice 1035-1 - Jon Larimer discovered that Evince's font parsers incorrectly handled certain buffer lengths when rendering a DVI file. By tricking a user into opening or previewing a DVI file that uses a specially crafted font file, an attacker could crash evince or execute arbitrary code with the user's privileges. In the default installation of Ubuntu 9.10 and later, attackers would be isolated by the Evince AppArmor profile.
