TeXLive, a popular software distribution for the TeX typesetting system that includes major TeX-related programs, macro packages, and fonts, was affected by two vulnerabilties.
CVE-2023-32668
A document (compiled with the default settings)
was allowed to make arbitrary network requests.
This occurs because full access to the socket library was
permitted by default, as stated in the documentation.
CVE-2024-25262
A heap buffer overflow was found via
the function ttfLoadHDMX:ttfdump. This vulnerability
allows attackers to cause a Denial of Service (DoS)
via supplying a crafted TTF file.
