40 | Printer Font Binary (PFB). |

44 | <p> |
45 | Regenrecht reported multiple vulnerabilities in FreeType via iDefense: |
46 | </p> |
47 | <ul> |
48 | <li> |
49 | An integer overflow when parsing values in the Private dictionary table |
50 | in a PFB file, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-2008-1806). |
51 | </li> |
52 | <li> |
53 | An invalid free() call related to parsing an invalid "number of axes" |
54 | field in a PFB file (CVE-2008-1807). |
55 | </li> |
56 | <li> |
57 | Multiple off-by-one errors when parsing PBF and TTF files, leading to |
58 | heap-based buffer overflows (CVE-2008-1808). |
59 | </li> |
60 | </ul> |
61 | </description> |
62 | <impact type="normal"> |
63 | <p> |
64 | A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted TTF |
65 | or PBF file, possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with |
66 | the privileges of the user running an application linked against |
67 | FreeType (such as the X.org X server, running as root). |
68 | </p> |
69 | </impact> |
70 | <workaround> |
71 | <p> |
72 | There is no known workaround at this time. |
73 | </p> |
74 | </workaround> |
75 | <resolution> |
76 | <p> |
77 | All FreeType users should upgrade to the latest version: |
78 | </p> |
79 | <code> |
80 | # emerge --sync |
81 | # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-libs/freetype-2.3.6"</code> |
82 | </resolution> |
