Summary
transfig security update
Details

The transfig utility creates a makefile which translates FIG (created by xfig) or PIC figures into a specified LaTeX graphics language (for example, PostScript(TM)). Transfig is used to create TeX documents which are portable (i.e., they can be printed in a wide variety of environments).

Security Fix(es):

A double-free vulnerability exists in fig2dev through 3.28a is affected by: via the free_stream function in readpics.c, which could cause a denial of service (context-dependent).(CVE-2021-37529)

A denial of service vulnerabiity exists in fig2dev through 3.28a due to a segfault in the open_stream function in readpics.c.(CVE-2021-37530)
