Descriptions

Multiple off-by-one errors in FreeType2 before 2.3.6 allow context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via (1) a crafted table in a Printer Font Binary (PFB) file or (2) a crafted SHC instruction in a TrueType Font (TTF) file, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow.

Múltiples errores de superación de límite (off-by-one) en FreeType2 antes de 2.3.6 permite a atacantes dependientes del contexto ejecutar código arbitrario mediante (1) una tabla manipulada en un archivo Printer Font Binary (PFB) o (2) una instrucción SHC manipulada en un archivo TrueType Font (TTF), lo que dispara un desbordamiento de búfer basado en montículo.
