Subject: [9fans] kerTeX update: security fix
Date: Thu, 2 Sep 2021 13:23:48 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <YTC0RCYk3+BBMOyM@polynum.com> (raw)
Hello,
I'm currently finishing the implementation of the newly required LaTeX
primitives and there will be a new engine (extending TeX and e-TeX).
While reading the program, I found a bug in TeX (and thus e-TeX; and
METAFONT and thus MetaPost) in the filenames handling. So I commited
a security fix.
Even if the potential of the problem is remote, you should upgrade and,
after, if your using LaTeX, re-install the package so that it will use
the corrected etex engine.
Note: I hadn't taken the time to update my Plan9/9front installation nor
to test the new version on it. The changes should not... change
anything as far as the systems are concerned. If something goes weird,
you know whom to send complaints to...
