Ubuntu Security Notice 844-1 - Chris Evans discovered that mimeTeX incorrectly handled certain long tags. An attacker could exploit this with a crafted mimeTeX expression and cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code. Chris Evans discovered that mimeTeX contained certain directives that may be unsuitable for handling untrusted user input. This update fixed the issue by disabling the \\input and \\counter tags.

Open Source CERT Security Advisory 2009.10
Posted Jul 14, 2009
Authored by Chris Evans, Damien Miller, Open Source CERT

The mimeTeX and mathTeX CGIs suffer from several buffer overflows as well as command injection which result in remote code execution. Unfortunately mimeTeX and mathTex are provided without version numbers by the maintainer, who releases version-less zip archives. It is therefore impossible to provide affected version numbers.
