Descriptions

The FT_Stream_EnterFrame function in base/ftstream.c in FreeType before 2.4.2 does not properly validate certain position values, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted font file.

La función FT_Stream_EnterFrame en base/ftstream.c de FreeType anterior a v2.4.2 no valida adecuadamente los valores de cierta posición, lo cual permite a atacantes remotos causar una denegación de servicio (fallo de la aplicación) o posiblemente ejecutar código a su elección a través de ficheros de fuentes manipulados.
