FreeType before 2.6.2 has a heap-based buffer over-read in tt_cmap14_validate in sfnt/ttcmap.c.

According to the versions of the freetype package installed, the EulerOS Virtualization installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - The t42_parse_encoding function in type42/t42parse.c in     FreeType before 2.5.4 does not properly update the     current position for immediates-only mode, which allows     remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite     loop) via a Type42 font.(CVE-2014-9747)

  - FreeType before 2.6.2 has a heap-based buffer over-read     in tt_cmap14_validate in sfnt/ttcmap.c.(CVE-2015-9383)

  - FreeType before 2.6.1 has a buffer over-read in     skip_comment in psaux/psobjs.c because     ps_parser_skip_PS_token is mishandled in an     FT_New_Memory_Face operation.(CVE-2015-9382)

  - FreeType before 2.6.1 has a heap-based buffer over-read     in T1_Get_Private_Dict in     type1/t1parse.c.(CVE-2015-9381)

  - In FreeType before 2.6.1, a buffer over-read occurs in     type1/t1parse.c on function T1_Get_Private_Dict where     there is no check that the new values of cur and limit     are sensible before going to Again.(CVE-2015-9290)

  - The parse_encoding function in type1/t1load.c in     FreeType before 2.5.3 allows remote attackers to cause     a denial of service (infinite loop) via a 'broken     number-with-base' in a Postscript stream, as     demonstrated by 8#garbage.(CVE-2014-9745)

According to the versions of the freetype package installed, the EulerOS Virtualization for ARM 64 installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - The FreeType engine is a free and portable font     rendering engine, developed to provide advanced font     support for a variety of platforms and environments.
    FreeType is a library which can open and manages font     files as well as efficiently load, hint and render     individual glyphs. FreeType is not a font server or a     complete text-rendering library. Security Fix(es):The     t42_parse_encoding function in type42/t42parse.c in     FreeType before 2.5.4 does not properly update the     current position for immediates-only mode, which allows     remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite     loop) via a Type42 font.(CVE-2014-9747)In Sudo before     1.8.28, an attacker with access to a Runas ALL sudoer     account can bypass certain policy blacklists and     session PAM modules, and can cause incorrect logging,     by invoking sudo with a crafted user ID. For example,     this allows bypass of !root configuration, and USER=     logging, for a 'sudo -u \#$((0xffffffff))'     command.(CVE-2015-9383)FreeType before 2.6.1 has a     buffer over-read in skip_comment in psaux/psobjs.c     because ps_parser_skip_PS_token is mishandled in an     FT_New_Memory_Face operation.(CVE-2015-9382)FreeType     before 2.6.1 has a heap-based buffer over-read in     T1_Get_Private_Dict in     type1/t1parse.c.(CVE-2015-9381)In FreeType before     2.6.1, a buffer over-read occurs in type1/t1parse.c on     function T1_Get_Private_Dict where there is no check     that the new values of cur and limit are sensible     before going to Again.(CVE-2015-9290)The parse_encoding     function in type1/t1load.c in FreeType before 2.5.3     allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service     (infinite loop) via a 'broken number-with-base' in a     Postscript stream, as demonstrated by     8#garbage.(CVE-2014-9745)The parse_charstrings function     in type1/t1load.c in FreeType 2 before 2.7 does not     ensure that a font contains a glyph name, which allows     remote attackers to cause a denial of service     (heap-based buffer over-read) or possibly have     unspecified other impact via a crafted     file.(CVE-2016-10244)
