Mandriva Linux Security Advisory 2013-006 - A Null pointer de-reference flaw was found in the way Freetype font rendering engine handled Glyph bitmap distribution format fonts. A remote attacker could provide a specially-crafted BDF font file, which once processed in an application linked against FreeType would lead to that application crash. An out-of heap-based buffer read flaw was found in the way FreeType font rendering engine performed parsing of glyph information and relevant bitmaps for glyph bitmap distribution format. A remote attacker could provide a specially-crafted BDF font file, which once opened in an application linked against FreeType would lead to that application crash. The updated packages have been patched to correct these issues.

Package : freetype2
Date : February 1, 2013
Affected: 2011., Enterprise Server 5.0
_______________________________________________________________________

Problem Description:

Multiple vulnerabilities has been found and corrected in freetype2:

A Null pointer de-reference flaw was found in the way Freetype font
rendering engine handled Glyph bitmap distribution format (BDF)
fonts. A remote attacker could provide a specially-crafted BDF font
file, which once processed in an application linked against FreeType
would lead to that application crash (CVE-2012-5668).

An out-of heap-based buffer read flaw was found in the way FreeType
font rendering engine performed parsing of glyph information and
relevant bitmaps for glyph bitmap distribution format (BDF). A remote
attacker could provide a specially-crafted BDF font file, which once
opened in an application linked against FreeType would lead to that
application crash (CVE-2012-5669).

The updated packages have been patched to correct these issues.
