TITLE:
abcm2ps Multiple Buffer Overflow Vulnerabilities

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA39345

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/39345/

DESCRIPTION:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in abcm2ps, which can be
exploited by malicious people to potentially compromise a user's
system.

1) Multiple boundary errors in the implementation of e.g. the "PUT0"
and "PUT1" macros can be exploited to overflow global buffers via
specially crafted input files.

2) A boundary error in the "trim_title()" function can be exploited
to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted file.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerabilities may allow execution of
arbitrary code.

NOTE: A boundary error when processing an overly large "-O" command
line option was also reported.

The vulnerabilities are reported in versions prior to 5.9.12.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 5.9.12.
