Descriptions
Integer signedness error in the Mac_Read_POST_Resource function in base/ftobjs.c in FreeType before 2.5.4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer overflow) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted Mac font.
Error de signo de enteros en la función Mac_Read_POST_Resource en base/ftobjs.c en FreeType anterior a 2.5.4 permite a atacantes remotos causar una denegación de servicio (desbordamiento de buffer basado en memoria dinámica) o posiblemente tener otro impacto no especificado a través de una fuente Mac manipulada.
An integer signedness flaw, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow, was found in the way FreeType handled Mac fonts. If a specially crafted font file was loaded by an application linked against FreeType, it could cause the application to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application.
