FreeType: Multiple integer overflows Multiple remotely exploitable buffer overflows have been discovered in FreeType, resulting in the execution of arbitrary code. FreeType July 09, 2006 September 03, 2006: 02 124828 remote 2.1.10-r2 2.0 2.1.10-r2

FreeType is a portable font engine.

Multiple integer overflows exist in a variety of files (bdf/bdflib.c, sfnt/ttcmap.c, cff/cffgload.c, base/ftmac.c).

A remote attacker could exploit these buffer overflows by enticing a user to load a specially crafted font, which could result in the execution of arbitrary code.

There is no known workaround at this time.

All FreeType users should upgrade to the latest stable version:
