Multiple integer overflows in FreeType 2.3.9 and earlier allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via vectors related to large values in certain inputs in (1) smooth/ftsmooth.c, (2) sfnt/ttcmap.c, and (3) cff/cffload.c.

Múltiples desbordamientos de entero en FreeType v2.3.9 y anteriores permiten a atacantes remotos ejecutar código de su elección mediante vectores relacionados con valores grandes en ciertas entradas en (1) smooth/ftsmooth.c, (2) sfnt/ttcmap.c, y (3) cff/cffload.c.

This GLSA contains notification of vulnerabilities found in several Gentoo packages which have been fixed prior to January 1, 2011. The worst of these vulnerabilities could lead to local privilege escalation and remote code execution.
