Debian LTS: DLA-3977-1: xfpt Security Advisory Updates
Summary
An issue has been found in xfpt, a tool to generate XML from plain tex.
The issue is about bad handling of input data, which may result in a
stack-based buffer overflow and execution of arbitrary code, when
processing specially crafted files.
For Debian 11 bullseye, this problem has been fixed in version
0.11-1+deb11u1.
We recommend that you upgrade your xfpt packages.
