Descriptions
The psh_glyph_find_strong_points function in pshinter/pshalgo.c in FreeType before 2.4.0 does not properly implement hinting masks, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap memory corruption and application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted font file that triggers an invalid free operation.
La función psh_glyph_find_strong_points en pshinter/pshalgo.c de FreeType anterior a v2.4.0 no implementa adecuadamente mascaras sugeridas, lo cual permite a atacantes remotos causar una denegación de servicio (corrupción en la pila de memoria y fallo de la aplicación) o posiblemente ejecutar código a su elección a través de ficheros de fuentes manipulados que provocan una operación libre no válida.
