USN-194-2: texinfo regression fix

Ubuntu Security Notice USN-194-2

9th January, 2006

texinfo regression bug fix

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

  • Ubuntu 5.10
  • Ubuntu 5.04

Details

USN-194-1 fixed a vulnerability in the 'texindex' program.
Unfortunately this update introduced a regression that caused the
program to abort when cleaning up temporary files (which are used with
extraordinarily large input files). The updated packages fix this.

Update instructions

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package version:

Ubuntu 5.10:
texinfo
Ubuntu 5.04:
texinfo

To update your system, please follow these instructions: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Security/Upgrades.
