Descriptions

The _bdf_parse_glyphs function in bdf/bdflib.c in FreeType before 2.5.4 does not properly handle a missing ENDCHAR record, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted BDF font.

La función _bdf_parse_glyphs en bdf/bdflib.c en FreeType anterior a 2.5.4 no maneja correctamente un registro ENDCHAR perdido, lo que permite a atacantes remotos causar una denegación de servicio (referencia a puntero nulo) o posiblemente tener otro impacto no especificado a través de una fuente BDF manipulada.
