bdf/bdflib.c in FreeType before 2.4.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted BDF font file, related to an attempted modification of a value in a static string.

When loading specially crafted font files applications linked against freetype2 could crash or potentially even execute arbitrary code (CVE-2010-3311, CVE-2010-3053, CVE-2010-3054).

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201201-09 (FreeType: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in FreeType. Please review       the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.
  Impact :

    A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted font,       possibly resulting in the remote execution of arbitrary code with the       privileges of the user running the application, or a Denial of Service.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

When loading specially crafted font files applications linked against freetype2 could crash or potentially even execute arbitrary code (CVE-2010-3311, CVE-2010-3053, CVE-2010-3054). This has been fixed.

Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the FreeType font library. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems :

  - CVE-2010-1797     Multiple stack-based buffer overflows in the     cff_decoder_parse_charstrings function in the CFF Type2     CharStrings interpreter in cff/cffgload.c in FreeType     allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or     cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via     crafted CFF opcodes in embedded fonts in a PDF document,     as demonstrated by JailbreakMe.

  - CVE-2010-2541     Buffer overflow in ftmulti.c in the ftmulti demo program     in FreeType allows remote attackers to cause a denial of     service (application crash) or possibly execute     arbitrary code via a crafted font file.

  - CVE-2010-2805     The FT_Stream_EnterFrame function in base/ftstream.c in     FreeType does not properly validate certain position     values, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial     of service (application crash) or possibly execute     arbitrary code via a crafted font file

  - CVE-2010-2806     Array index error in the t42_parse_sfnts function in     type42/t42parse.c in FreeType allows remote attackers to     cause a denial of service (application crash) or     possibly execute arbitrary code via negative size values     for certain strings in FontType42 font files, leading to     a heap-based buffer overflow.

  - CVE-2010-2807     FreeType uses incorrect integer data types during bounds     checking, which allows remote attackers to cause a     denial of service (application crash) or possibly     execute arbitrary code via a crafted font file.

  - CVE-2010-2808     Buffer overflow in the Mac_Read_POST_Resource function     in base/ftobjs.c in FreeType allows remote attackers to     cause a denial of service (memory corruption and     application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code     via a crafted Adobe Type 1 Mac Font File (aka LWFN)     font.

  - CVE-2010-3053     bdf/bdflib.c in FreeType allows remote attackers to     cause a denial of service (application crash) via a     crafted BDF font file, related to an attempted     modification of a value in a static string.

Multiple vulnerabilities has been found and corrected in freetype2 :

The FT_Stream_EnterFrame function in base/ftstream.c in FreeType before 2.4.2 does not properly validate certain position values, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted font file (CVE-2010-2805).

Array index error in the t42_parse_sfnts function in type42/t42parse.c in FreeType before 2.4.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via negative size values for certain strings in FontType42 font files, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-2010-2806).

FreeType before 2.4.2 uses incorrect integer data types during bounds checking, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted font file (CVE-2010-2807).

Buffer overflow in the Mac_Read_POST_Resource function in base/ftobjs.c in FreeType before 2.4.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted Adobe Type 1 Mac Font File (aka LWFN) font (CVE-2010-2808).

bdf/bdflib.c in FreeType before 2.4.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted BDF font file, related to an attempted modification of a value in a static string (CVE-2010-3053).

The updated packages have been patched to correct these issues.

Unspecified vulnerability in FreeType 2.3.9, and other versions before 2.4.2, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via vectors involving nested Standard Encoding Accented Character (aka seac) calls, related to psaux.h, cffgload.c, cffgload.h, and t1decode.c (CVE-2010-3054).
