paul Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 A vulnerability was discovered and corrected in freetype2: Marc Schoenefeld found an input stream position error in the way FreeType font rendering engine processed input file streams. If a user loaded a specially-crafted font file with an application linked against FreeType and relevant font glyphs were subsequently rendered with the X FreeType library (libXft), it could cause the application to crash or, possibly execute arbitrary code (integer overflow leading to heap-based buffer overflow in the libXft library) with the privileges of the user running the application. Different vulnerability than CVE-2010-1797 (CVE-2010-3311). Packages for 2009.0 are provided as of the Extended Maintenance Program.
