Synopsis

The remote CentOS host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

An update for freetype is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact of Moderate. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability from the CVE link(s) in the References section.

FreeType is a free, high-quality, portable font engine that can open and manage font files. FreeType loads, hints, and renders individual glyphs efficiently.

Security Fix(es) :

* freetype: a heap-based buffer over-read in T1_Get_Private_Dict in type1/ t1parse.c leading to information disclosure (CVE-2015-9381)

* freetype: mishandling ps_parser_skip_PS_token in an FT_New_Memory_Face operation in skip_comment, psaux/psobjs.c, leads to a buffer over-read (CVE-2015-9382)

For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.
