Descriptions
The Mac_Read_POST_Resource function in base/ftobjs.c in FreeType before 2.5.4 proceeds with adding to length values without validating the original values, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (integer overflow and heap-based buffer overflow) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted Mac font.
La función Mac_Read_POST_Resource en base/ftobjs.c en FreeType anterior a 2.5.4 proceda con la suma de los valores de longitud sin validar los valores originales, lo que permite a atacantes remotos causar una denegación de servicio (desbordamiento de enteros y desbordamiento de buffer basado en memoria dinámica) o posiblemente tener otro impacto no especificado a través de una fuente Mac manipulada.
Multiple integer overflow flaws, leading to heap-based buffer overflows, were 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.
