d9af0018e0e96e3e988540710f546c85f77672c5edfba6bb08db2d042cb23aceRed Hat Security Advisory 2015-0696-01 - 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. Multiple integer overflow flaws and an integer signedness flaw, leading to heap-based buffer overflows, were found in the way FreeType handled Mac fonts. If a specially crafted font file was loaded by an application linked against FreeType, it could cause the application to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application.

18c20fc5dea96db94329999ec37cf2a66601bd49860954c458cb8846091c88e5Mandriva Linux Security Advisory 2015-055 - The tt_sbit_decoder_load_image function in sfnt/ttsbit.c in FreeType before 2.5.4 does not properly check for an integer overflow, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted OpenType font. The tt_face_load_hdmx function in truetype/ttpload.c in FreeType before 2.5.4 does not establish a minimum record size, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted TrueType font. The tt_face_load_kern function in sfnt/ttkern.c in FreeType before 2.5.4 enforces an incorrect minimum table length, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted TrueType font. Various other issues have also been addressed.
