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 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.
3f10268fde1e677b8cbb611e28561f80e5c2be5b061f2d205fa851bda91c106cRed Hat Security Advisory 2013-0216-01 - FreeType is a free, high-quality, portable font engine that can open and manage font files. It also loads, hints, and renders individual glyphs efficiently. A flaw was found in the way the FreeType font rendering engine processed certain Glyph Bitmap Distribution Format fonts. If a user loaded a specially-crafted font file with an application linked against FreeType, it could cause the application to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application. Users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch to correct this issue. The X server must be restarted for this update to take effect.
