Descriptions
Stack-based buffer overflow in the cf2_hintmap_build function in cff/cf2hints.c in FreeType before 2.5.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a large number of stem hints in a font file.
Desbordamiento de buffer basado en pila en la función cf2_hintmap_build en cff/cf2hints.c en FreeType anterior a 2.5.3 permite a atacantes remotos causar una denegación de servicio (caída) y posiblemente ejecutar código arbitrario a través de un número grande de "stem hints" en un fichero de fuentes.
Mateusz Jurczyk discovered that FreeType did not correctly handle certain malformed font files. If a user were tricked into using a specially crafted font file, a remote attacker could cause FreeType to crash or possibly execute arbitrary code with user privileges.
