Mandriva Linux Security Advisory 2008-121

Mandriva Linux Security Advisory 2008-121
Posted Oct 31, 2008
Authored by Mandriva | Site mandriva.com

Mandriva Linux Security Advisory - Multiple vulnerabilities were discovered in FreeType's Printer Font Binary (PFB) font-file format parser. If a user were to load a carefully crafted font file with a program linked against FreeType, it could cause the application to crash or potentially execute arbitrary code. The updated packages have been patched to prevent this issue. The patches used to correct the problem on Corporate Server 4.0 and Corporate 3.0 contained a problem where certain fonts would not be displayed and would cause applications, such as drakfont, to crash. This update corrects the regression.
