Title:	Debian: Security Advisory (DLA-1514-1)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'texlive-bin' package(s) announced via the DLA-1514-1 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'texlive-bin' package(s) announced via the DLA-1514-1 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: Nick Roessler from the University of Pennsylvania has found a buffer overflow in texlive-bin, the executables for TexLive, the popular distribution of TeX document production system. This buffer overflow can be used for arbitrary code execution by crafting a special type1 font (.pfb) and provide it to users running pdf(la)tex, dvips or luatex in a way that the font is loaded. For Debian 8 Jessie, this problem has been fixed in version 2014.20140926.35254-6+deb8u1. We recommend that you upgrade your texlive-bin packages.
