DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been reported in fig2vect, which potentially can
be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in the
"pdf_encode_str()" function in "dkfigpdf.ctr" when encoding strings
in the PDF output module. This can be exploited to cause a buffer
overflow by tricking a user into processing a specially crafted
".fig" file for PDF output.
Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code.
The vulnerability has been reported in version 1.0.1. Prior versions
may also be affected.
SOLUTION:
Update to version 1.0.2.
