NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream texlive-bin package and not the texlive-bin package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:11 relevant fixed versions and status.

Integer overflow in the predospecial function in dospecial.c in dvips in (1) TeX Live and (2) teTeX might allow user-assisted remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted DVI file that triggers a heap-based buffer overflow. NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third party information.
