Descriptions
FreeType 2 before 2017-03-24 has an out-of-bounds write caused by a heap-based buffer overflow related to the t1_decoder_parse_charstrings function in psaux/t1decode.c.
FreeType 2 en versiones anteriores a 24-03-2017 tiene una escritura fuera de limites provocada por un desbordamiento de búfer relacionado con la función t1_decoder_parse_charstrengs en psaux/t1decode.c.
It was discovered that FreeType did not correctly handle certain malformed font files. If a user were tricked into using a specially crafted font file, a remote attacker could cause FreeType to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code.
