Descriptions

The (1) t1_parse_font_matrix function in type1/t1load.c, (2) cid_parse_font_matrix function in cid/cidload.c, (3) t42_parse_font_matrix function in type42/t42parse.c, and (4) ps_parser_load_field function in psaux/psobjs.c in FreeType before 2.5.4 do not check return values, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (uninitialized memory access and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted font.

Las funciones (1) t1_parse_font_matrix en type1/t1load.c, (2) cid_parse_font_matrix en cid/cidload.c, (3) t42_parse_font_matrix en type42/t42parse.c y (4) ps_parser_load_field en psaux/psobjs.c en FreeType en versiones anteriores a 2.5.4 no verifican los valores de retorno, lo que permite a atacantes remotos provocar una denegación de servicio (acceso a memoria no inicializada y caída de aplicación) o posiblemente tener otro impacto no especificado a través de una fuente manipulada.
