    2024-06-07: CVE-2019-19797 was added to this advisory.

    An out-of-bounds write flaw was found in transfig in the way the `fig2dev` program handled the processing     of Fig format files. Specifically, the flaw affects the translation process of Fig codes into the box     graphics language. This flaw allows for potential exploitation by crashing the `fig2dev` program by     tricking it into processing specially crafted Fig format files. (CVE-2019-19797)

    A global buffer overflow in the genmp_writefontmacro_latex component in genmp.c of fig2dev 3.2.7b allows     attackers to cause a denial of service (DOS) via converting a xfig file into mp format. (CVE-2020-21678)
