3. Description:

 

FreeType is a free, high-quality, portable font engine that can open and

manage font files, as well as efficiently load, hint and render individual

glyphs.

 

Multiple flaws were discovered in FreeType's Printer Font Binary (PFB)

font-file format parser. If a user loaded a carefully crafted font-file

with a program linked against FreeType, it could cause the application to

crash, or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2008-1806, CVE-2008-1807,

CVE-2008-1808)

 

Note: the flaw in FreeType's TrueType Font (TTF) font-file format parser,

covered by CVE-2008-1808, did not affect the freetype packages as shipped

in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3, 4, and 5, as they are not compiled with TTF

Byte Code Interpreter (BCI) support.

 

Users of freetype should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain

backported patches to resolve these issues.

 

4. Solution:

 

Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released

errata relevant to your system have been applied.

 

This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use

the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at

http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/FAQ_58_10188

 

5. Bugs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/):

 

450768 - CVE-2008-1806 FreeType PFB integer overflow

450773 - CVE-2008-1807 FreeType invalid free() flaw

450774 - CVE-2008-1808 FreeType off-by-one flaws
