Descriptions

FreeType commit 22a0cccb4d9d002f33c1ba7a4b36812c7d4f46b5 was discovered to contain a segmentation violation via the function FT_Request_Size.

Se ha detectado que el commit 22a0cccb4d9d002f33c1ba7a4b36812c7d4f46b5 de FreeType contenía una violación de segmentación por medio de la función FT_Request_Size

A segmentation fault was found in FreeType’s FT_Request_Size() function in the ftobjs.c file. This flaw allows an attacker to access a memory location in a way that could cause an application to halt or crash, leading to a denial of service.

Juraj Somorovsky, Marcel Maehren, Nurullah Erinola, and Robert Merget discovered that the DTLS implementation in the JSSE subsystem of OpenJDK did not properly restrict handshake initiation requests from clients. A remote attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service. Markus Loewe discovered that the Java Sound subsystem in OpenJDK did not properly validate the origin of a Soundbank. An attacker could use this to specially craft an untrusted Java application or applet that could load a Soundbank from an attacker controlled remote URL.
