Descriptions

Integer overflow in FreeType2 before 2.3.6 allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted set of 16-bit length values within the Private dictionary table in a Printer Font Binary (PFB) file, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow.

Desbordamiento de entero en FreeType2 anterior a 2.3.6, permite a atacantes dependientes del contexto ejecutar código arbitrario a través de un set de valores manipulados de un tamaño 16-bit dentro de la tabla de diccionario Private en un archivo Printer Font Binary (PFB), lo que provoca un desbordamiento de búfer basado en montículo.
