paul Posted August 12, 2010 Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 A vulnerability has been discovered and corrected in freetype2: Multiple stack overflow flaws have been reported in the way FreeType font rendering engine processed certain CFF opcodes. An attacker could use these flaws to create a specially-crafted font file that, when opened, would cause an application linked against libfreetype to crash, or, possibly execute arbitrary code (CVE-2010-1797). Packages for 2008.0 and 2009.0 are provided as of the Extended Maintenance Program.
