3. Description:

 

FreeType is a free, high-quality, portable font engine that can open and

manage font files. It also loads, hints, and renders individual glyphs

efficiently. These packages provide both the FreeType 1 and FreeType 2

font engines.

 

Tavis Ormandy of the Google Security Team discovered several integer

overflow flaws in the FreeType 2 font engine. If a user loaded a

carefully-crafted font file with an application linked against FreeType 2,

it could cause the application to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary

code with the privileges of the user running the application.

(CVE-2009-0946)

 

Chris Evans discovered multiple integer overflow flaws in the FreeType font

engine. If a user loaded a carefully-crafted font file with an application

linked against FreeType, it could cause the application to crash or,

possibly, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running

the application. (CVE-2006-1861)

 

An integer overflow flaw was found in the way the FreeType font engine

processed TrueType® Font (TTF) files. If a user loaded a carefully-crafted

font file with an application linked against FreeType, it could cause the

application to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code with the

privileges of the user running the application. (CVE-2007-2754)

 

A flaw was discovered in the FreeType TTF font-file format parser when the

TrueType virtual machine Byte Code Interpreter (BCI) is enabled. If a user

loaded a carefully-crafted font file with an application linked against

FreeType, it could cause the application to crash or, possibly, execute

arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application.

(CVE-2008-1808)

 

The CVE-2008-1808 flaw did not affect the freetype packages as distributed

in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 and 4, as they are not compiled with TrueType

BCI support. A fix for this flaw has been included in this update as users

may choose to recompile the freetype packages in order to enable TrueType

BCI support. Red Hat does not, however, provide support for modified and

recompiled packages.

 

Note: For the FreeType 2 font engine, the CVE-2006-1861, CVE-2007-2754,

and CVE-2008-1808 flaws were addressed via RHSA-2006:0500, RHSA-2007:0403,

and RHSA-2008:0556 respectively. This update provides corresponding

updates for the FreeType 1 font engine, included in the freetype packages

distributed in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 and 4.

 

Users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain

backported patches to correct these issues. The X server must be restarted

(log out, then log back in) for this update to take effect.

 

4. Solution:

 

Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released

errata relevant to your system have been applied.

 

This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use
