Overview

FreeType before 2.4.11 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and crash) via vectors related to BDF fonts and the improper handling of an "allocation error" in the bdf_free_font function.

Mandriva Linux Security Advisory 2013-039

Mandriva Linux Security Advisory 2013-039 - 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 (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. An out-of heap-based buffer write 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 font file, which once opened in an application linked against FreeType would lead to that application crash, or, potentially, arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the user running the application.

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.
