Descriptions

type42/t42parse.c in FreeType before 2.5.4 does not consider that scanning can be incomplete without triggering an error, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (use-after-free) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted Type42 font.

type42/t42parse.c en FreeType anterior a 2.5.4 no considera que escaneo puede resultar incompleto sin provoca un error, lo que permite a atacantes remotos causar una denegación de servicio (uso después de liberación) o posiblemente tener otro impacto no especificado a través de una fuente Type42 manipulada.

A use-after-free condition has been encountered in FreeType while fuzzing Type42 fonts. Version 2.5.3 is affected.
