Integer Overflow, Buffer Overflow
AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P

Dan Rosenberg found a buffer overflow flaw in the way TeX text formatting system processed virtual font files. If a user was tricked into processing a specially-crafted typesetter-independent .dvi (DeVice Independent) file, it could lead to dvips executable crash or, potentially, to arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the user running dvips.
