CVE-2010-2642 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. Heap-based buffer overflow in the AFM font parser in the dvi-backend component in Evince 2.32 and earlier, teTeX 3.0, t1lib 5.1.2, and possibly other products allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted font in conjunction with a DVI file that is processed by the thumbnailer.. EPSS estimates a 14.27% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
