EulerOS 2.0 SP10 : freetype (EulerOS-SA-2025-1508)

high Nessus Plugin ID 235772

Synopsis

The remote EulerOS host is missing a security update.

Description

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

 An out of bounds write exists in FreeType versions 2.13.0 and below (newer versions of FreeType are not vulnerable) when attempting to parse font subglyph structures related to TrueType GX and variable font files. The vulnerable code assigns a signed short value to an unsigned long and then adds a static value causing it to wrap around and allocate too small of a heap buffer. The code then writes up to 6 signed long integers out of bounds relative to this buffer. This may result in arbitrary code execution. This vulnerability may have been exploited in the wild.(CVE-2025-27363)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS freetype security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the affected freetype packages.
